And also, to clarify, "letting the military do what needs to be done to get the job done quickly" and "the 'best' war is a swift war" were his words I was repeating, spoken specifically in the context of the Vietnam War. And with the end goal always being about getting a war over as quickly as possible while effecting the least amount of innocent lives in the long run.
Those 2 statements shouldn't be taken in a general sense isolated from their proper context.
I don't want people thinking we're both warmongers or something, because that is the farthest thing from the truth.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
