David Hackworth quotes

If a policy is wrongheaded, feckless and corrupt, I take it personally and consider it a moral obligation to sound off and not shut up until it's fixed.

Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can't be treated just where it's visible - every diseased cell in the body must be destroyed.

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.

In order to drill into young men the need to stay alert and stay alive, I used to punish offenders with my fists, boots and rifle butt, and with stockade time.

Fortunately, it's still not too late to develop a comprehensive global strategy to eliminate our real enemy.
