peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Richard Grenier, 5. } War is the greatest evil Satan has invented to corrupt our hearts and souls. We live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Aaron Sorkin. Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. 1. Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons. Douglas MacArthur, 14. This denial of reality has allowed a brutal and dysfunctional environment to fester and destroy soldiers' lives. CEASEFIRE's multi-year 'Civilian Rights and UK Military Accountability' project, generously supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, aims to promote civilian rights and military accountability in the UK's use of armed force.

"Exhibiting accountability over time is a gateway to trust. I define accountability as fulfilling my duties as a senior noncommissioned officer to the best of my ability and accepting the consequences of not meeting standards.

As Colin Powell's quote above, and former commander-in-chief & U.S. Presidents below all learned, listening is an essential skill for success as a leader. True patriotism isnt cheap. He summarized leadership like this: We don't mind hardship. It is not necessary that the person having accountability must have actual possession of the property, documents, or funds. Do not seek it without."

Be careful what you choose. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. var cookiePair = cookie.split('='); The lack of equipment, the lack of food, the lack of this or that are only excuses; the real leader displays his quality in his triumphs over adversity, however great it may be. - General of the Army George C Marshall, and former Secretary of State & Secretary of Defense, "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight -- it's the size of the fight in the dog.".
