“oğunlukla dürüst bir insanımdır. Anladığım zaman anladım, anlamadığım zaman da net olarak anlamadım derim. İkircikli ifadeler kullanmam. Sorunların büyük kısmının ikircikli ifadeler yüzünden çıktığına inanırım. İnsanların çoğunun ikircikli ifadeler kullanmasını, onların aslında içten içe, bilinçsizce de olsa, sorun çıkmasını arzu etmelerine bağlarım. Başka türlü düşünebilmem mümkün değil.”

“After spending time at [Camp] Wilson, which felt like we were at war, Kandahar Airfield looked like an ugly American city filled with lots of European tourists. Soldiers from a handful of nations, thanks to NATO—the Netherlands, the UK, Canada—walked around unarmed and apparently unfazed by the war that was being waged around them. Overhearing their conversations, I got the feeling that their most serious concern was a shortage of coffee at the French PX. But for the guys who were having to do without, like the soldiers at Camp Wilson, a PX run was a treat. Parking the trucks, the team peeled off their gear and bounded across the street into what can only be compared to a Walmart at home. The warehouselike building was filled with junk food, sodas, magazines, and even obnoxious T-shirts advertising Operation Enduring Freedom. Only Americans would make T-shirts for a war.”
