Andrew Rowen
“The pale men are far more ruthless and belligerent than our people, and our people too compromising, too conciliatory,¨ Bakako concluded. ¨They have no moral rules, and their Christ-spirit provides an excuse for all evil done in his name. Our respect for harmony and our spirits´ sincerity have left us vulnerable.¨

Tears welled in Yutowa´s eyes, and he shuddered. ¨That´s the essence.¨”
Andrew Rowen, Columbus and Caonabó: 1493–1498 Retold

Craig Whitlock
“After a decade of U.S. wars and surging defense budgets, an expectation of special treatment had taken root in the Navy. Many officers felt they were owed something extra for enduring long deployments at sea and missions to support the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American people fed such attitudes by placing uniformed personnel on a pedestal, thanking them for their service with discounts and freebies. The further one got from Washington, the easier it became to stretch the norms of acceptable conduct. In Asia, Navy officers pocketed favors they knew would be taboo at home.”
Craig Whitlock, Fat Leonard: How One Man Bribed, Bilked, and Seduced the U.S. Navy

Joe Abercrombie
“Men born to peace and privilege often crave the approval of the violent.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Devils

“What few realized was that clusters of agents, including some on Trump’s detail, were openly rooting for Trump, a fact hiding in plain sight. On Facebook and other forums, some of these public servants who promised to be above party were promoting Trump’s debunked conspiracy theories”
Carol Leonnig, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service

“One Secret Service officer called the armed protesters “patriots” seeking to undo an illegitimate election, and falsely claimed to her friends that disguised Antifa members had started the violence.”
Carol Leonnig, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service
