What do you think of this Tom Clancy quote?

Question

From his book The Teeth of the Tiger -

"two hundred and thirty years of tradition untrammeled by progress" Talking about the US military, of course.

Answer 1

Very true in many respects, because war is good for business.

Answer 2

It's fiction.

Answer 3

Clancy is a fool. He lost touch with reality years ago.

Answer 4

you know, i think you really have a biased opinion about the Us military.  What you see in the media and on the Internet are only half the truth and want the media wants you to see.  I think you are a fool if you don't believe in a military that is willing to fight and die so that you have the RIGHT to say these terrible things about them.  I just don't see why you woul flive in a country that you don't believe in.  Our government sucks right now and probably will for a while, but out military is mighty and will protect us, even if our presiden't are idiots that continue to get us in **** predicaments.  It is the president's that you shoul dbe doggin on, not he military men that fight for a living and to feed their families.  Remember,they are only following orders.  From people that we vote into office.  They are the real idiots.  Please thnk about that and let me know what you think!!

Answer 5

it is our traditions that keep the military the best military in the world...traditions like loyalty, dedication to duty and honor..!

it is not the advance weapons that makes us the strongest force on the planet, but the extreme professionalism, training and believe in our military traditions that makes us the best...
