Human beings may hate a distant enemy in theory, but they generally prefer to kill their neighbors.

I've been to many countries and watched a number of conflicts or their residue, and I've served in the military.

The great paradox of the 21st century is that, in this age of powerful technology, the biggest problems we face internationally are problems of the human soul.

We [the U.S.] think nothing... of attempting to inflict upon other peoples forms of government ill-tailored to their needs.

If there is a single power the West underestimates, it is the power of collective hatred.

In the Gulf War, U.S. Marine Corps wheeled vehicles were killing Iraqi T-72 tanks.

The M-1 is the best tank in the world, if you can get it to the war in time, if you have a Saddam Hussein who'll give you seven months to move your forces in.
