I will be a commander in chief who will never mislead us into war.

Acceptance Speech at Democratic National Convention, July 29, 2004John Kerry
The general verdict among the German generals I interrogated in 1945 was that Field-Marshal von Manstein had proved the ablest commander in their Army, and the man they had most desired to become its Commander-in-Chief. It is very clear that he had a superb sense of operational possibilities and equal mastery in the conduct of operations, together with a greater grasp of the potentialities of mechanized forces than any other commander who had not been trained in the tank arm. In sum, he had military genius.
Erich von Manstein
A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief.
George W. Bush
I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army,
But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.Ani DiFranco
A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Isn't it dreadful? Here we are, two officers of the German General Staff, discussing how best to murder our commander in chief. It must be done. This is our only chance... Hitler must be cut down like a rabid dog.
