"Retreat! Hell, we're just attacking in a different direction."

?Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's
There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives.

When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults
George Patton
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Norman Schwarzkopf
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Pray for our military men and women who are, striving to do what is right also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That is what we have to make sure we are praying for: that there is a plan, and that that plan is God's plan.. So bless them with your prayers. (said in a speech to graduating ministry students in 2008)
Sarah Palin -
Paper-work will ruin any military force.
Lieutenant-General Lewis B. 'Chesty' Puller
As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he's a great military man-I want you to know that. ?General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
Soldiers usually win the battles and generals get the credit for them.
?Napoleon
Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. ?Groucho Marx
Military power wins battles, but spiritual power wins wars.
?General George Catlett Marshall
A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood. ?George S. Patton
Friendly fire isn't. ?Murphy's Second Military Law
If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
?Murphy's Sixth Military Law
Incoming fire has the right of way.
?Murphy's Fourth Military Law
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
?Murphy's First Military Law
Never worry about the bullet with your name on it. Instead, worry about shrapnel addressed to 'occupant'.
?Murphy's Tenth Military Law
The army with the smartest dress uniform will lose.
?Murphy's Fifth Military Law
We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms."
?Elayne Boosler
From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots. ?Thomas Jefferson
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. ?John F. Kennedy
