The president says, 'What difference does it make what you call the enemy?' Are you kidding me? As an intelligence officer, I would never get away with that. I could never say, 'Well, you know, boss, I don't label this enemy that we're facing.'
— Michael T. Flynn
What I believe in is I believe in law.
I could care less if someone is purple polka-dotted.
We're in a world war.
I've been a soldier too long to refuse to entertain any request from a potential commander in chief.
Is there going to be a peace in the Middle East? Not in my lifetime.
Because of Obama's ill-advised actions, the world has lost American leadership.
Units were coming to combat with DCGS because it was their tool kit, so to speak, but they basically had it boxed up and parked in a corner. They were using off-the-shelf stuff they were having to buy prior to coming into the theater.
On military battlefields, we have defeated radical Islamic forces every time we have seriously gone after them, from Iraq to Afghanistan.
We're in a global war, facing an enemy alliance that runs from Pyongyang, North Korea, to Havana, Cuba, and Caracas, Venezuela.
The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda in Iraq are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.
I think women have to be able to choose... sort of, the right of choice. They are the ones that have to make the decision because they're the ones that are going to decide to bring up that child or not.
The only way to clean up Chicago is to get rid of Capone.
You come home when the war is won.
We should not fear what our country was built on: a set of Judeo-Christian principles.
One of the things I expect Mr. Trump would look for in a vice president is discretion.
There's one race that we have to worry about, and it's the human race.
If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse.
I am certain - I am deadly certain that we cannot win this war unless we are free to call our enemy by name: Radical Islamicists and failed tyrants.
The point is technology and innovation have advanced far past what DCGS is capable of doing. It's not an agile enough tool to be able to incorporate and integrate the most advanced technology that is on the shelf today that can be bought by our forces that frankly our war-fighting units want.
Every year, the State Department declares Iran to be the world's primary supporter of terror.
I think these al Qaeda franchise groups have clearly evolved into a much more dangerous strain.
I vote for leaders, and honestly, I didn't vote much in the military because I served whoever is the commander-in-chief.
Donald Trump's leadership, decision-making and problem solving will restore America's role as the undeniable and unquestioned world leader.
If we are going to conduct a population-centric strategy in Afghanistan, and we are perceived as backing thugs, then we are just undermining ourselves.
I've been called an extremist.
I grew up as a Democrat in a very strong Democratic family, but I will tell you that the Democratic Party that exists in this country is not the Democratic Party I grew up around.
All I would say is that I have been honored to serve my country for the past three decades and look forward to serving in other ways now that I am retired from the U.S. Army.
The direction of this country is going into the wrong direction.
I promise you, I promise you that Donald Trump knows, Donald Trump knows that the primary role of the president is to keep us safe.
Trump has a bigger, longer-term vision for this country than just sitting as a president for four years. He really does. And that's what I was impressed by.
DCGS is hard to learn. It takes a long time. You have to use it all the time, which means it's not a simple technology that people are used to and can buy off the shelf today. And frankly, it doesn't do what it's touted to do. That's why you see units out on the battlefield asking for very similar things.
We have real enemies, dedicated to dominating and eventually destroying us, and they are not going to be talked out of their hatred.
Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safe.
What people do in their private lives, these are not big issues that our country's dealing with.
