“My challenge to every American is simple: reject the Left’s victim narrative and do it yourself. Because we will never realize the true potential that this incredible country has to offer—in the land of the free and the home of the brave—if we continue to be shackled by the great myth of government deliverance.”

“The truth as Joseph and his comrades discovered, was that the Islamic State's fighters were skilled butchers, but lousy soldiers. "They're only good at terrorizing people who aren't armed," he said. "They think they're good, but when we wake them up in the middle of the night, they would crap their pants.”

“Women out in the village don't talk back to their husbands. It's just a law, when men say something, women should just listen. And you should never talk in a loud voice because a man outside might hear. I made that mistake, but I was lucky. In Tarinkot, a man beat his wife with an ax, and she survived, but her head was split open. Husbands who only use their hands or feet are very kind." -Heela (Gopal's female civilian Afghan respondent)”
