O. Henry Capability Quotations

We think China should have a military capability sufficient to meet its genuine security needs.

We realize that almost in all circumstances others will be able to do the job less expensively than we can because we tend to have a very cost-intensive force. But many times they'll be able to do it more effectively too because they'll understand the local language, the local customs. They'll be culturally adept and be able to get things accomplished that we can't do. So building a partnership capability is a critical lesson learned.

We don't know how we're going to use the force. So we have to have a capability set that will withstand all reasonable futures.
