Michael Hastings
“The simple and terrifying reality, forbidden from discussion in America, was that despite spending $600 billion a year on the military, despite having the best fighting force the world had ever known, they were getting their asses kicked by illiterate peasants who made bombs out of manure and wood.”
Michael Hastings, The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan

Samanth Subramanian
“But the heart weakens without democracy, and there was no democracy within the Tigers. They antagonized their own brothers by killing them.”
Samanth Subramanian, This Divided Island: Stories from the Sri Lankan War
