A piece of paper makes you an officer, a radio makes you a commander.

Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics.

We are dealing with veterans, not procedures; with their problems, not ours.

Airpower has become predominant, both as a deterrent to war, and-in the eventuality of war-as the devastating force to destroy an enemy's potential and fatally undermine his will to wage war.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.

Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them must share the guilt for the dead.

Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
