John Katzenbach
“A prisoner of war is supposed to be in uniform, and he's supposed to provide his name, rank, and serial number, when demanded. A man in a suit of clothes carrying phony identity cards and forged work permits? That man could easily be taken for a spy. When do you stop being the one and start being the other?”
John Katzenbach, Hart's War

“I’ve never understood how some intel officers can shatter lives and then just submit an expense form. Whenever I try to do that, Central Travel always makes me attach receipts.”
John Alejandro King aka The Covert Comic
