Some Michael Mullen's quotes. Goto "Michael Mullen's quotation" section for more.I've said for a long time, clearly the - a, a critical key to success in the region is going to be Pakistan and our relationship with Pakistan, which was one that was broken in the late '80s and which we've worked hard to restore.
Tags: Hard, Success, TimeBasically, we've grown up very focused on the institution. The institution tells me what to do. It tells me where to go. It tells me what my career path is, and then I, sort of, attach my own personal desires, my own personal interests. I think we're living in a time where we're going to have to change - to put people in the center.
Tags: Career, Change, TimeI think that is a noble goal that all of us should seek, to end wars and prevent wars as much as possible.
Tags: End, Goal, PossibleI would like America to remember those who have served and those that we've lost and their families.
Tags: America, Lost, RememberI'm not a policy and a strategy guy. I'm - you know, the military basically supports what the president wants, the decisions that he makes.
Tags: Decisions, Makes, PresidentThe single biggest existential threat that's out there, I think, is cyber.
Tags: Biggest, Single, ThreatAs a Naval officer, I've been all over the world, and one of the foundational lessons I learned was that parents everywhere would like to raise their children to a higher standard of living in a peaceful environment. That's a universal goal for families.
Tags: Children, Goal, ParentsI think anybody in our - in the, in the national security apparatus has, has got to take full cognizance of their responsibility for the safeguarding of classified information.
Tags: Anybody, Full, SecurityI think the central mission in Afghanistan right now is to protect the people, certainly, and that would be inclusive of everybody, and that in a, in an insurgency and a counterinsurgency, that's really the center of gravity.
Tags: Everybody, Mission, ProtectI was in the military for over 40 years, and one of the principles I kept with me was that there's an expectation globally that the U.S. will lead. Questions about that expectation have certainly risen in recent years. The fact that there's even a question about that is worrisome to me, and I think needs to be for a lot of people.
Tags: Fact, Military, QuestionI'm a Vietnam veteran. I was here when there was no public support, not just for the effort in Vietnam, for the mission in Vietnam, but for our men and women in uniform.
Tags: Here, Men, WomenIt is my position that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do. No matter how I look at this issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.
Tags: Lie, Men, WomenOne of the reasons that I'm still in the military - or I stayed in the military - is because I think the military has been a place where certainly people could improve, advance, and were treated fairly.
Tags: Military, Place, ReasonsRight now we're on the President Obama plan, and we'll stay with that. And from my perspective, the reason we're there is to make sure that we can achieve the principal goal which is ensure that Afghanistan can never become a safe haven for a terrorist organization like al Qaeda.
Tags: Become, Goal, ReasonSome 70% to 80% of all who join the military will return to the civilian workforce. They'll return to communities, and one of the things I've worried about is the increasing disconnect between the American people and our men and women in uniform. We come from fewer and fewer places. We're less than 1% of the population.
Tags: Between, Men, WomenThe mission - the overall mission is to dismantle and defeat and disrupt al-Qaeda. But we have to make sure there's not a safe haven that returns in Afghanistan.
