• Lo que dijo el rey Abdullah de Jordania es esencialmente que la guerra contra el ISIS es una guerra por el alma del Islam. Y deben ser las tropas musulmanas sobre el terreno las que destruyan al ISIS, con el apoyo de una coalición de grandes potencias: Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania y Rusia.

• Nuestro trabajo es proporcionar a la coalición el equipo militar que necesitan, el apoyo aéreo que necesitan, fuerzas especiales cuando sea apropiado. Pero al fin y al cabo por una docena de razones diferentes, no la menor de las cuales es que al ISIS le gustaría tener tropas de combate estadounidenses sobre el terreno para poder llegar al mundo musulmán y decir: "Mirad, nos estamos enfrentando a esos terribles estadounidenses".

El ejército afgano está sufriendo grandes pérdidas defendiendo territorio afgano.

• I would only go to Syria to destroy ISIS. I would not use U.S. troops to depose Assad. But I would support the rebels there. It's okay to support those people who share your view. But for the United States to be embroiled in a civil war in Syria against [Bashr] Assad I think is a big mistake.

• Los boinas verdes estadounidenses han estado sobre el terreno tendiendo la mano a algunas de las facciones allí presentes. Pero no los confundan con tropas de combate. Así que ahora sólo hablamos de ataques aéreos. Si hay tropas que entren allí, probablemente serán los italianos.

• Arabia Saudí ha dicho que si la coalición liderada por Estados Unidos contra Daesh está dispuesta a participar en operaciones terrestres, nosotros estaremos dispuestos a participar con fuerzas especiales. Los rusos también dicen que su objetivo es derrotar a Daesh. Si el despliegue de tropas terrestres ayuda en la lucha contra Daesh, ¿por qué es la Tercera Guerra Mundial?

• I've laid out a plan for how we keep people safe here at home, and I've laid out a plan of how we wage war and win by denying ISIS territory overseas. We must deny them their territory because the territory that they've conquered because Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama declared victory in Iraq and against every generals advice withdrew all of our troops, leaving a vacuum, weaponry, territory for ISIS to conquer, that territory, their caliphate, is that from which they draw legitimacy, potency, credibility. We have to deny them that territory.

• The major problem for America is we're losing two wars. We're losing in Afghanistan, we're losing in Iraq. And there seems very little likelihood that we're going to increase the number of troops we have in either place to the point that we can prevail.

• The drones are really interesting - how have the troops withdrawn from Afghanistan? Because we've upped the drone strikes and most of the country doesn't even really know what that means or who we're killing or... it's such a new weapon that we don't know what the long term impacts of that kind of military action is going to be.

• In the occupation in Afghanistan, there are tragedies as well. It's not as bad as in Iraq because there are fewer American troops. But, as I describe in the book, going out on patrol and coming into a village, the soldiers found a stash of documents and decided this was Taliban propaganda.

• Consider that in a galaxy far, far away (otherwise known as the 1990s), President Clinton felt that he had to assure an isolationist Republican Congress - repeat after me, an isolationist Republican Congress - that the 20,000 U.S. peacekeeping troops he promised Bosnia as part of the Dayton Accords would only stay deployed for a single calendar year.

• Two things are to blame for our predicament, one a corollary of the other. The first reason is that we did not have enough troops in Samarra. The skill and courage of 150 American soldiers prevented chaos, but was never enough to fully secure a city of 120,000 people or maintain the rule of law [...] Second, because of a lack of troops, American military leaders are forced to make a choice between mission objectives and self-preservation.

• El estruendo de los discursos de los políticos sobre la guerra, las falsas posturas morales de los creadores de opinión que afirman hablar en nombre de "las tropas", todo lo que Irak ha llegado a representar en el imaginario estadounidense, todo se desvanece con el calor de 115 grados. Lo que queda es la maquinaria de una guerra que, al haber sido convocada por civiles, ya no guarda relación con nada de lo que dicen.

• The Bush administration must understand that each American has a right to question our policies in Iraq and elsewhere, and should not be demonized or condemned for disagreeing with them. Suggesting that to challenge and criticize policy is undermining and hurting our troops is not democratic, nor what this country has stood for over 200 years.

• During World War I the Canadians were the shock troops. In many historical cases, Canadians have been very proficient at killing, and doing what we have to in order to survive. But no one wants to acknowledge that fact.

• Cuando todo el mundo está centrado en las partes convencionales de la guerra -hacer empotramientos de infantería o perseguir artefactos explosivos improvisados- te fijas en lo que a la gente no le parece tan interesante, como las circunstancias de los trabajadores de logística que cocinan la comida de las tropas o limpian sus letrinas.
