Engage in a serious discussion. The application of military force to resolve a situation is one of the most important decisions our civilian leaders make. On the other end of those orders are real people (ours and theirs) who have real families who might not come back.
Given the order, I will salute smartly and execute the mission with audacity and alacrity. All I ask is that it is necessary and that I am given the tools I need to achieve my leaders' goals.

The application of force is just a different form of diplomacy.
It has its time and place, but it should be used correctly.
The problem is that people treat it like a hammer. Everything looks like a nail.

SFC Pete Kain - Diplomacy is not always the correct tool for the job. Sometimes a show of force works far better than diplomacy.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS - Yep, and no argument from me. Expect to say that if you pull a gun you better be prepared to use it, and use it well.

Diplomacy - what is Diplomacy? nothing more than one group trying to get another group to do what they want them too; if that doesn't work our extension of diplomacy is coercion through military force. If you don't do what we want; we attack - diplomacy at its finest.

LT Charles Baird - Diplomacy (in all forms) is a nice way of saying "....or else".
