We, the willing, led by the unknowing,
are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
We have now done so much for so long
with so little, we are now capable
of doing anything with nothing

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that,
an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute!"

when the guns begin to shoot.

I have never accepted what many people have
kindly said, namely that I have inspired the nation.

a poor solution to any problem,
it is generally employed only by

the impossible takes a little longer.
?Air Force Motto
Aye. Fight and you may die.
Run, and you'll live. At least awhile...
And dying in your beds, many years from now,
would you be willing to trade all the days
from this day to that for one chance --
just one chance -- to come back here and
tell our enemies that they make take our lives,
but they'll never take our freedom!!
?William Wallace, "Braveheart"
The object of war is not to die for your country,
but to make the other bastard die for his.

military music is to music.

If you believe the doctors, nothing is wholesome;
if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent;
if you believe the military, nothing is safe.

As far as Saddam Hussein being a great
military strategist, he is neither a
strategist, nor is he schooled in the
operational arts, nor is he a tactician,
nor is he a general, nor is he as a soldier.
Other than that, he's a great military
man, I want you to know that.
?General Norman Schwarzkopf
A good plan violently executed today is
better than a perfect plan executed tomorrow.
?George S. Patton
When force is necessary, it must be applied
boldly, decisively, and completely. But one
must know the limitations of force; one must
know when to blend force with a manuever,
the blow with an agreement.
?Leon Trotsky
In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one.
?H. L. Mencken
War can only be abolished through war,
and in order to get rid of the gun
it is necessary to take up the gun.
?Mao Zedong
