Value of Work

Heroes Remember

Transcript
Interviewer: Do you think within the military the contributions of a supply officer were as valued as a contribution to the front line officer? Absolutely. The front line officer can't go if he doesn't have any bullets. Right? Fuel. He can't go if he doesn't have fuel. Pilot can't fly if he doesn't have fuel or a good aircraft. To me it's part of the puzzle, part of the wheel. It's a wheel, you take the pilots out, you take the supply officer out. You take the pilots out, you're not going to accomplish your mission. It's a team thing, you can't say one is more important than the other.
