About this Quote
This quote by Ellen Tauscher speaks to the importance of having a well-resourced and well balanced military. An overstretched military, where resources are spread too thin, can lead to a weakened homeland security and a decreased ability to react to dangers all over the world. This is because an overstretched armed force is unable to properly protect its own borders, leaving the homeland vulnerable to attack. In addition, an overstretched military is unable to react to hazards in other parts of the world, leaving those locations open to exploitation and aggressiveness. Therefore, it is essential to guarantee that the armed force is not overstretched, and that resources are allocated in a balanced method, in order to make sure the security of the homeland and the capability to respond to risks around the globe.
