\u201cIf you don\u2019t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.\u201d – General James Mattis<\/b> [<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/ARO7pd<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur security will be improved by sustaining foreign aid in the years ahead rather than by making further cuts.\u201d – General David Petraeus<\/b> [<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/Hq1dda<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am concerned that levels of funding for our State Department and USAID partners will not sufficiently enable them to build on the hard-fought security achievements of our men and women in uniform. Inadequate resourcing of our civilian partners could, in fact, jeopardize accomplishment of the overall mission.\u201d – General David Petraeus<\/b> [<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/V66alS<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment is a lot cheaper than sending soldiers.\u201d – Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates<\/b>\u00a0[<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/VBKsoV<\/span><\/span><\/a>]\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment contributes to stability. It contributes to better governance. And if you are able to do those things and you\u2019re able to do them in a focused and sustainable way, then it may be unnecessary for us to send soldiers.\u201d – Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates<\/b>\u00a0[<\/span>http:\/\/bit.ly\/1Mz08vx<\/span><\/span><\/a>]\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSupport for development is a vital component of America\u2019s national security strategy.\u201d – Former National Security Advisor and retired Marine Corps General James Jones <\/b>[<\/span>http:\/\/goo.gl\/h5NbuW<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA fully-integrated foreign policy requires a fully-resourced approach. Our troops, Foreign Service officers and development experts work side-by-side in unprecedented and ever-increasing cooperation as they execute our strategic programs.\u201d – Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retired Navy Admiral Michael Mullen <\/b>[<\/span>http:\/\/goo.gl\/ZwiXPn<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUSAID\u2019s efforts can do as much over the long term to prevent conflict as the deterrent effect of a carrier strike group or a marine expeditionary force.\u201d – Former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan Lieutenant General John Allen <\/b>[<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/0wYfnh<\/span><\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n
