    Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs under George W. Bush and Barrack Obama:

    Our fellow citizens are not the enemy, and must never become so.

    ...

    Even in the midst of the carnage we are witnessing, we must endeavor to see American cities and towns as our homes and our neighborhoods. They are not “battle spaces” to be dominated, and must never become so.

    This piece is short, thoughtful, and as someone with a much shorter and much less illustrious military career, Mullen's words perfectly capture my feelings on this whole situation.
