“I will do what the Prime Minister asks me to do; that is my consistent...” — Des Browne Quote

“I will do what the Prime Minister asks me to do; that is my consistent approach to politics and to service.”

“It will require a sustained military and financial commitment by the international community, working with the government of Afghanistan, to create the environment in which enduring democratic institutions can be established.”

“You can't talk about defeating insurgencies in the same way that you can with a conventional army.”

“I actually like seeing how the world - trying to figure out how the world works, how it all fits together. Also, it makes me happy when I feel like things are consistent, when there's some sort of order to the universe.”

“As a shooter, the one thing you want to be is consistent.”

“Even when you are not having the ball, you have to stay consistent, organised, and that's what keeps you in the game.”
