Wenger simply doesn't like those who show a weakness. With him you generally FEEL as if you were in the ARMY. It's only in public that he may APPEAR to be some SORT of man of LIBERAL views. In reality, his credo is natural selection.

I've been very ACTIVE all my LIFE. I was a COMBAT instructor in the ISRAELI ARMY.

If my TALE has to revolve AROUND a protagonist and there is action around him, I can only IMAGINE him to be someone from the police or the ARMY.

In REALITY, AFGHANISTAN has functioned as a nation-state for more than TWO CENTURIES, and its army and bureaucracy reach back to the 19th century.

It is true, as Sartre once wrote, referring to French ARMY atrocities in Algeria, that the REAL TRAGEDY in our TIME is that any of us can be, interchangeably, victim or torturer.

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.

Just look at the OLD Testament. They didn't GO out with the ARMY FIRST. They SENT the musicians out.

When I went to WEST Point, I was there with cadets from 50 other STATES and territories. Cadets from other countries, and you LEARN all of these things about our country, about our culture, our HERITAGE, our ethnicity. At the end of the day, you come back, we all WEAR green, and we all consider ourselves an Army.

I was in the ARMY, and to me it was LIKE a newsreel.

My camping experiences have been miserable. Beginning with my mother sending us off for summer camping with FOREST SCHOOL Camps. I SWEAR the tents were WW1 army SURPLUS.

Having grown up as a young Army OFFICER in the VIETNAM era, I had an instinctual sort of NOTION that you have to look very CAREFULLY and weigh very carefully what ANYONE says.

I was in a bad shape after missing out on my ARMY DREAM. What I couldn't say and EXPRESS to everybody, STAGE gave me the space to release.

I thought it was beautiful to be able to forgive and give LOVE and to fight only with flowers. So I CREATED the IDEA of a 'Souldier,' which is like an ARMY guy but fights for love.

I was HONORED to have served in the ARMY for my country. I was at Anzio during WWII, and it makes you REALIZE how very precious LIFE is.
