“To confine soldiers to purely military functions while urgent and vital tasks have to be done, and nobody else is available to undertake them, would be senseless. The soldier must then be prepared to become a propagandist, a social worker, a civil engineer, a schoolteacher, a nurse, a boy scout. But only for as long as he cannot be replaced, for it is better to entrust civilian tasks to civilians.” LongDoneWould BeSocialBoysMilitaryTasksFunctionPreparedWorkersSoldierAvailableNurseEngineersReplacedBe PreparedUrgentCiviliansSocial WorkerBoy ScoutPropagandistCivil Engineer Author:David Galula
“But perhaps the most important difference between conservatives and liberals can be found in the area of national security. Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. In the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban.” ImportantWarStatesMightWantedFoundUnderstandingDifferencesUnitedUnited StatesSawsSecurityMilitaryOffersAreasPreparedTherapyNational SecurityTalibanSavageryIndictmentUnited States Military Author:Karl Rove

“In the military we are always looking for ways to leverage up our forces. Having greater communications and command and control over your forces than your enemy has over his is a force multiplier. Having greater logistics capability than the enemy is a force multiplier. Having better-trained commanders is a force multiplier. Perpetual optimism, believing in yourself, believing in your purpose, believing you will prevail, and demonstrating passion and confidence is a force multiplier. If you believe and have prepared your followers, the followers will believe.” IfsWayBelievePurposePassionForceEnemyGreaterMilitaryCommunicationOptimismPreparedCommandBelieve In YourselfOver YouFollowersCapabilityPerpetualIf You BelieveCommandersDemonstratingLogisticsCommand And Control Author:Colin Powell

“In two weeks the sheeplike masses of any country can be worked up by the newspapers into such a state of excited fury that men are prepared to put on uniforms and kill and be killed, for the sake of the sordid ends of a few interested parties.
