Retired Adm. William McRaven, a former US Navy SEAL commander and head of US Special Operations Command, says K-12 education is vital to US national security.
"Unless we are giving opportunity and a quality education to the young men and women in the United States, then we won't have the right people to be able to make the right decisions about our national security," McRaven said.
McRaven said the US needed to develop a "culture of education" within communities, particularly those where residents think they can't afford it or that their children aren't "smart enough."
"There is a school out there for every man and woman in the United States — I don't care what your educational capacity is, what you think it is," McRaven said. "There is a school that will help you matriculate to the point of getting a degree."
