- Summary:
- "In Iraq and Afghanistan, we had all this high technology. We understood computers. We understood high-tech war machines, but we didn't understand simple things about culture and language. We hadn't bothered to study the people that we were fighting among, so I thought the fact that we couldn't understand this guy who was trying to tell us something,for all we knew he was going to tell us who the bombmaker was. But we had no idea because we could not communicate with them."
