I believe in peace through strength. I would prefer to rely on the military rather than diplomats to protect our homes.
Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?
I don't think that anyone in the pages of 'War on Peace' is arguing that diplomacy is the replacement for military power. But, correctly, the job of the military is to think tactically.
If America wants concessions, she must fight for them. We must purchase our power with our blood.
In dealing with Syria's dictator...only force counts. No cease-fire was attainable in Lebanon until the 16-inch guns of the battleship New Jersey started shelling Syria's proxies; suddenly, sweet reason prevailed in Damascus.
Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement.
Diplomacy without arms is music without instruments.
A fleet of British ships at war are the best negotiators.
