Our troops will make mistakes, and when they do, they should get the overwhelming benefit of the doubt.

The War on Warriors (2024)

The War on Warriors (2024)

Unlike our enemies, we don’t fight because we hate what’s in front of us, we fight because we love what’s behind us.

The War on Warriors (2024)
