The Alliance for Security (AFS) was founded in 2004 by Bobby Muller, a Vietnam War veteran and veterans' advocate. The Alliance "aims to provoke thoughtful and penetrating conversation on national security issues including the possibility of conscription, the war against terrorism, our foreign policy, and the real consequences of war".
Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or security:
“Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
