I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers.

No commander in chief would ever say, 'I'm not going to listen to the guys on the ground.'

You know, the commander-in-chief's first responsibility is look out for those in uniform who fight the wars.

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

The more a general is accustomed to place heavy demands on his soldiers, the more he can depend on their response.

I am a general. My soldiers are the keys and I have to command them.

We need a Commander-in-Chief, not a Campaigner-in-Chief.

But if you're going to go out on a military unit, you've got to allow yourself to be under the control of the commander because you really could put the troops in danger.

I thought they know that I was the Commander in Chief, not that I know that I am the Commander in Chief, and they should behave; know how to behave to the Commander in Chief.

My husband may have been in the military, but no one tells me which leader to follow.
