-> ''Suddenly, the bits fell into place. The careful planning, the [[CombatPragmatist ruthless use of power]], the [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown remorseless artistry with which the [Americans] destroyed everything that got in their way]]. They weren't fighting in anger or even in the heat of a war-rage. They had made a cold-blooded decision to destroy an enemy and doing it as efficiently as they could. For them, it wasn't a [[WarIsGlorious crusade or a battle or a duel]]. It was a job, an [[WarIsHell unpleasant job]] that had to be done as quickly as they could and as completely as they could. Then they could go home. They didn't care what they had to do to make it happen, they would do what they had to do, then they would go home.''
