We care about high standards because If, God forbid, the President of the United States asks you to go to war, we want to make sure that the people that you're fighting with are the very best. We owe it to your moms and dads, your grandmas and grandpas to only send the very best people off to foreign conflicts. And that is why we care so much about standards. (16:53–17:04)
