Army veteran tired but 'resolute'
Associated Press July 1, 2008
KILLEEN — A three-decade Army veteran called a "steel spine" by the defense secretary says he and most other soldiers would
prefer never to deploy and fight again because they are tired, undermanned and under-equipped.
"We, the Army, have been rode hard and put up wet," said Command Sgt. Maj. Neil Ciotola, Fort Hood's senior noncommissioned
officer. "We're catching ourselves coming and going. ... In all honesty, ladies and gentlemen, I and the majority of us in uniform,
and those that repeatedly support us are tired."
… "Yet I willingly embrace the reality we still have confronting us; this is a long war, an era of persistent conflict and much is
expected of us, both in and out of uniform," Ciotola said
