The U.S. Armed Forces are the best trained, best equipped fighting forces in the world.

The U.S. military is the best-trained, most effective fighting force the world has ever known. And the conduct of the vast majority of our service members makes Americans rightfully proud.

We have the finest military personnel in the world.

Our servicemen and women are highly trained, highly skilled, and the most professional fighting force in the world.

Throughout the history of our young nation, we have seen our military go bravely into battle, armed with courage and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

We won't always have the strongest military.

There cannot be any better cross-section of America and I think the soldiers represent the best we have. Today's soldiers are brighter and smarter, perhaps in a different way, than past generations because they've been brought up in the computer and information age.

Oklahoma's always been good to me.

We have the new greatest generation. We don't need as large a military due to the technology we have, the equipment we have outfitting our personnel. They really are storm troopers.

In this ever-changing world, it's more important than ever that our top-notch military continues to receive the resources needed to serve and protect our country.
