The nature of encounter operations required of the commanders limitless initiative and constant readiness to take the responsibility for military actions.
Georgy Zhukov

We really want to send the message that commanders need to understand and be accountable. We saw that with the Catholic Church. No one cared when they went after the priests, but when they focused on the bishops then things began to change. And we see that analogy working with the military.
Amy Ziering

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.
George S. Patton
Image
I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.
George W. Bush
Image
Anyone weighing whether to re-elect the President should take the bin Laden operation into account: it is a powerful exhibit that Obama is a steely Commander in Chief - a critical test for many Americans.
Jon Meacham
Image
President Bush and his commanders announced early in the conflict that the Conventions applied.

I think [Wine] will be, at a minimum, incredibly useful to archeology, like DosBox has been for playing Wing Commander. Certainly it has been known to save the day with modern titles, too. But to have it as the agreed-upon way to how you play video games on Linux is completely unacceptable for several reasons, both technical and moral.

I felt better about myself that I did it [calling Max Askeli Commander Askeli], rather than have - rather than thinking it and not writing it for being afraid of what might happen to me.
Nat Hentoff
Image
President Obama pushed for fairness in the military, listening to commanders as we ended don't ask don't tell, and on how to allow women to officially serve in more combat jobs - because America's daughters are just as capable of defending liberty as her sons.
Tammy Duckworth
Image
I've already heard from some military commanders who feel they've been undercut by the vice president of the United States, and there's a lot of justification for their view.
John McCain
Image
We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our Commander-in-Chief and to our nation for this day. God bless America.
Jeremiah Denton
Image
The judgment that every voter is making of every one of us [running for presidency] who has the experience, who has the vision, who has the judgment to be commander in chief. That is the most important decision for the voters to make. That's a standard I'm held to. And it's a standard everyone else is held to.
Ted Cruz
Image
There may be a hundred thousand men in an army, who are all equally free but they only are naturally most fit to be commanders or leaders, who most excel in the virtues required for the right performance of those offices.
Algernon Sidney
Image
One of the things I would immediately do [as Commander in Chief ], in addition to defeating them here at home, is bring back the warrior class - Petraeus, McChrystal, Mattis, Keane, Flynn. Every single one of these generals I know. Every one was retired early because they told President [Barack] Obama things that he didn't want to hear.
Carly Fiorina
Image
I think it is appropriate when you look at the test that you have to meet to be commander-in-chief for Americans to be thoughtful about, you know, who has the experience and the approach that is best likely to work.
Hillary Clinton
Image
The wide world is full of people wanting help, Jon. Would that some could find the courage to help themselves. - Lord Commander Mormont
George R. R. Martin
Image
You would make a great teacher. (Grace) Commander to teacher. Why not call me Cato the Elder, and really insult me while you’re at it? (Julian)
Sherrilyn Kenyon

ISIS and Iran have declared war on America, and we need a commander in chief who will do everything necessary to keep our children safe.
Ted Cruz
Image
These are the times that try men's souls.
Thomas Paine
Image
A commander should have a profound understanding of human nature, the knack of smoothing out troubles, the power of winning affection while communicating energy, and the capacity for ruthless determination where require by circumstances. He needs to generate an electrifying current, and to keep a cool head in applying it.
B. H. Liddell Hart
Image
No commander in chief would ever say, I'm not going to listen to the guys on the ground.
Claire McCaskill
Image
Every parent is wondering, how do we keep our kids safe? We need a commander in chief who does what Ronald Reagan did with communism, which is he set out a global strategy to defeat Soviet communism.
Ted Cruz
Image
Since 9/11 we've been engaged in wars around the world, and General [James] Mattis has been a leading battlefield commander in many of those theaters, including in the April 2004 siege of Fallujah, where the US Marines killed so many people that the municipal soccer stadium in the city had to be turned into a graveyard for the dead.
James Mattis
Image
When your troops go to war, the prime minister or the president change overnight from an administrator, dealing with taxation and welfare and health and deteriorating roads, into the commander-in-chief. And it's just become almost unpatriotic to describe Bush's fallacious and ill-advised and mistaken and sometimes misleading actions.
Jimmy Carter
