| James R. Schlesinger | “[Former United States Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger] said 'The [Swedish] Military was planning for us to come as soon as possible'. He obviously did not speak about all Swedish politicians or all Swedish military officers, but rather about a fundamental divide between a few relevant political leaders with the ambition of keeping Swedish neutrality, and some senior military officers that were directly linked up to the U.S. agencies, officers that identified themselves with the United States and with U.S. military priorities: They planned for the U.S. military forces to come to Sweden 'as soon as possible'” | Ola Tunander James R. Schlesinger | 1993 |
| John Vessey | “When it comes to Sweden, there was only one rule: Nothing on paper.” | John Vessey John W Vessey Jr. | 1989 |
