Duty is the great business of a sea officer all private considerations must give way to it however painful it may be.

We'll try to include Iraqi officers in our staffs. We will do everything we can to empower Iraqi security forces to stand up on their own and operate where they can alone.

Our country will I believe sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.
