About This Quote

In the midst of the turmoil of war, commanders sometimes forget that their soldiers are human beings. They lose sight of their humanity as they become lost in the details of the mission. In Afghanistan, this was not a problem for General Jim Mattis, who knew how to maintain his humanity as he led nearly 60,000 troops into battle against a determined and ruthless enemy. His humility was a key part of his success.
