Noam ChomskyWhen you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.

Carl von ClausewitzThe good old days, when each idea had an owner, are gone forever.

Bad BunnyWhen Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the U.N. vetoed several resolutions right away, calling for an end to the fighting and so on, and that was a hideous invasion.
Noam ChomskySome of the generals are saying, ‚We’re making progress. We are clearing an area.‘ But you really don’t defeat the Taliban by clearing an area. They move.
Colin PowellNever forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.
Carl von ClausewitzIf aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

George Bernard ShawI did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.

Jim MattisGains achieved at great cost against our enemy in Afghanistan are reversible.
Jim MattisWe give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

Jocko WillinkStability is when the U.K. and U.S. invade a country and impose the regime of their choice.
Noam ChomskyI would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.
Clint EastwoodYou go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway.
