"His favourite term is 'lethality'; he loves telling the armed forces how 'lethal' they are. 'We are not defenders any more,' he announced gleefully. 'We are warriors: trained to kill the enemy and break their will.' (It might seem excessive to break their will after killing them, but why settle for half measures?)"

"He seemed to experience a sadistic pleasure in announcing the sinking of an Iranian warship by a US torpedo, enjoying the idea of the doomed crew’s 'quiet death'.
This sort of unabashed viciousness is part of the appeal of the Maga administration for its fans, and might seem like a refreshing return to plain speaking."
