I'd go easy on critiquing others' language choices, particularly war 
language, if I were her given what she told The Intercept in January 2018 
starting around 28m43s into the recording of her interview.

for more details regarding this language (“Quick strike forces”, “surgical 
strikes”, “in and out, very quickly”, “no long-term deployment, no 
long-term occupation”) including a pointer to the 2018 Intercept interview 
and a relevant extract of the transcript of that interview.
