Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. — George Patton

My Take – The young men and women that I see training at Fort Knox are equipped with some extraordinary hardware.  A lot of it is the descendent of the stuff we used in the 1990’s, but even more of it is stuff that we only imagined could be possible.  From surveillance, to weapons, to communications, to medicine, the battlefield of today is stocked full of technological wonders.

But that’s not what wins battles.  The training, leadership, discipline, and dedication of these people can and will move mountains if that is the mission given to them.  The technology and gear are only tools.  It is the people that use them that makes the difference.
