“The most damning revelation was that this state of affairs did not result from a lack of money. In Chuck’s words: “Budget constraints are not the source of the problem.”

“The ax fell on programs that could not muster strong support from Congress, industry, international allies, or the secretary of defense and his staff. In short, political wheeling and dealing, hidden agendas, and turf battles determined the future Air Force, rather than carefully weighed visions.”

“This kind of philosophy represented an attitude that I abhor. In my view, the notion that there can be only one interpretation or one perspective of an extremely complex issue is very dangerous. Yet, it was the policy of the Pentagon leadership. If Congress permitted this policy to continue, then, as far as I was concerned, it too was part of the problem.)”
