I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war.

I get angry at a principle, not a person.

Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.

Judge your enemy based upon capabilities, not intent, you have to look at the enemy and really almost make a worst case call every time.

How do you fight someone who doesn't care if they get killed? You accommodate them.

I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers.
