The Associated Press cites the Atlantic Council for hosting General Martin Dempsey at its Disrupting Defense conference:
Senior Pentagon officials have been vocal in their criticism of Congress, warning that the changes would reduce the money available to train men and women to fight wars.
“Readiness has no constituents. You know what I mean?” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the Atlantic Council recently. “Weapons systems have constituents, bases have constituents, but readiness has no constituents, except those who have to apply the military instrument when the time comes.”
