Our aim in all these operations is to capture where possible, in order to use the intelligence value that these detainees may have for us, ... In every instance when our forces go into operations like this, we provide them with the authority to use whatever force is necessary to accomplish their missions. We have to expect that in those circumstances, casualties do occur. We have not suffered any casualties at this point, but casualties have occurred on the other side.
- Mike WardWhen you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
