And how do we go from that assessment? to where we are now? And how do we go from the relationship that I think we still had at least a modicum of in 2004 to where we are now? because I know Powell was still, and I remember Bill Perry meeting with my Marine Corps War College seminar when he was the middle secretary of defense or so for Clinton.

Colonel Wilkerson also served as deputy director and director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia.

That's not a hedge.

That's a direct contradiction of his own services blueprint, published in the same week.
