Famous quotes by John Batiste:

"We went to war with a flawed plan that didn't account for the hard work to build the peace after we took down the regime. We also served under a secretary of defense who didn't understand leadership, who was abusive, who was arrogant, who didn't build a strong team."

"He tended to surround himself with those that support his agenda. He was involved with the selection of flag officers to an unprecedented level."

"I believe we need a fresh start in the Pentagon. We need a leader who understands teamwork, a leader who knows how to build teams, a leader that does it without intimidation. You know, it speaks volumes that guys like me are speaking out."

"We need leadership up there that respects the military as they expect the military to respect them."

"He went to war with a flawed plan. He didn't account for the hard work to build the peace after we took down the regime."

"When decisions are made without taking into account sound military recommendations, sound military decision-making, sound planning, then we're bound to make mistakes. When we violate the principles of war with mass and unity of command and unity of effort, we do that at our own peril."

"I have not talked to the other generals."

"And as I recall, the secretary didn't even go to his retirement ceremony; I have never forgotten that."

"Sadly, we started something we weren't prepared to finish."
