ROBERT GATES: "The blunt reality is that there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the US Congress -- and in the American body politic writ large -- to expend increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense."
盖茨：“现实是，美国国会和政界专家的兴趣和耐心在减少，他们不愿意耗费宝贵资金，去支持那些不愿意在自身防务上投入必要资源或做出必要改变，以使自己成为负责的并有能力的合作伙伴的那些国家。”
