Soldiers sometimes joke that their job description is simple: “kill people and break things.” But, as the United States discovered in Iraq, hearts and minds also matter, and smart warriors need the soft power of attraction as well as the hard power of coercion.
但是，聪明的战士知道怎样用仅仅使用武力之外的东西进行领导。士兵们有时候开玩笑说他们的工作描述很简单：“杀人和破坏东西”。但是，像美国在伊拉克发现的那样，感情和头脑也很重要，聪明的战士需要强迫的硬力量，也需要吸引人的软力量。
