Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking.

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

At a time of such hope and optimism in the Middle East, we cannot let the Libyan government violate every principle of international law and human rights with impunity.

And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character.

I can't expect loyalty from the army if I do not give it.

We prefer that the leaders of the Iraqi armed forces do the honorable thing; stop fighting for a regime that does not deserve your loyalty.

The world will not accept dictatorship or domination.

A military coup needs a sacrifice and courage that you can't find in an army without morale.

Our military leaders don't seize power in coups; our soldiers and sailors don't go on strike for higher pay or benefits; our armed forces don't weigh in on the political process. In return, Americans have a sacred duty to treat them honorably.
