“Soldiers, when committed to a task, can't compromise. It's unrelenting devotion to the standards of duty and courage, absolute loyalty to others, not letting the task go until it's been done.”

“I can't visualize the situation in which we nuke ourselves into extinction.”

“We may have to have a geo-political regrouping or major geo-political changes.”

“Even a pacifist should admire the military virtues.”
