Gen. McCaffrey: ‘One battalion of M1 tanks is inconsequential on the battlefield’
 
Retired Four Star General Barry McCaffrey joins Andrea Mitchell to break down the significance of the decision by the U.S. to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. “One battalion of M1 tanks is inconsequential on the battlefield,” says McCaffrey. “They need an armored division in fairly short order before the spring, and we could do that and in fairly short order.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
