Quotes by Don Bentley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“This profession offers very little in terms of guarantees—we run toward the sound of gunfire knowing that each and every mission might be our last. But this we hold to as our holy writ—if you go into harm’s way, you will not be forgotten. We will expend every ounce of blood and sweat, down to the last full measure, to bring you home.”
Don Bentley, Without Sanction

“I love the Constitution. I just don’t love it when we try to apply our founding principles to the world’s scumbags. American exceptionalism is driven by America’s values, and these values fundamentally differ from those held by much of the rest of the world.”
Don Bentley, The Outside Man

“This was Texas, by God, not a third world country.”
Don Bentley, Weapons Grade

Don Bentley, Without Sanction

“The brand was American, but like everything else of significance, it was manufactured in China.”
Don Bentley, Flash Point

“Everyone thinks that inspiring men to follow you into combat is the hardest part about being a leader. It’s not. The hardest part is looking at yourself in the mirror after a teammate dies on your watch.”
Don Bentley, Flash Point
