“My assignment as the post’s adjutant and personnel officer (I ended the war a captain) put me in close contact with the civilian bureaucrats and it didn’t take long for me to decide I didn’t think much of the inefficiency, empire building, and business-as-usual attitude that existed in wartime under the civil service system.

Ronald Reagan

Hope comes from having a purpose.”
Rick Warren

“Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?”
