This comment sourced to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey wasn't enough for you?
No, "in a recent interview" is not a solid citation.
A solid citation would tell you the who/what/when of the interview and where you can find it to read the comments in context.
Not including that sort of information about the "recent interview" is lazy, incompetent journalism.
And the most inflammatory comments, that I highlighted in my post, have no attribution whatsoever.
