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:
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“There is something that Governments care for far more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.... Be militant each in your own way.... I incite this meeting to rebellion.”
—Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
