My favorite piece of work from World War I is this:
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
-Canadian Army Physician John McCrae, reflecting on the battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.

Now what in God's name makes you think I SUPPORT war? Actually, support is probably not the word you meant to use. I do support war when necessary. I do not, however, enjoy war. War is simply a necessary evil when diplomacy can not take care of things. I am not FOR war. War is a terrible thing that I know all to well from personal experiance. Seeing my buddy laying in PIECES before my very eyes has changed my life forever. I would never wish anyone into that situation. But that being said, sometimes some things are worth fighting for, and some things are worth dying for. My friend who is now dead knew that, and was proud to serve in our military, and knew the concequinces of his service. War is the last thing anyone WANTS. But sometimes it is the only thing that will keep us free.

How about this military poem...
Collateral Damage
Sameness
Eternal battle for equality
At what cost
On the field
Thousands of soldiers
Lie beside me
Emotion, my friend
Lost next to me moans
Quickly forgotten
Faith, a leader
Where is he now
Nowhere to be seen
Love, a shame
Never stood a chance
Crying for his father
Hate, Greed, and Intolerance
Charging on with heads high
Heroes of the war
I haven't read through this thread so some of these may be repeats
"The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service."-Albert Einstein
"Older men declare war. But it's the youth who must fight and die!" -Herbert Hoover
"Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent." -Issac Asimov
"Either war is obsolte or men are." -R.. Buckminster Fuller (whoever the hell that is)
"We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together, and if we are to live together we have to talk." -Eleanor Roosevelt

Buckminster Fuller is best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, but he was a genius in many fields (dare I say it, a Renaissance man?), in 1959, he predicted that technology would provide the ability to end poverty and hunger in the world by 2000. His prediction came true.

We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old." - Winston Churchill (after the fall of France)

"We will kill them all" The Iraqi information minister as US forces entered Baghdad. 2003
Dec 26th, 2004 - Well perhaps not all but the Iraqi resistance has killed or maimed more than 16,000 US Soldiers, all just to put Saddam in a comfortable jail cell where he has gained weight.

Okay guys, if you do them in German, or another language, could you also please leave a translation? I hate having to grab my Austrian wife every time I need to know what you write!

GhostSniper you can't translate everything, you can do it word by word but that would take wouldn't come close to the real meaning. Further some of the used words don't appear in any dictionary ;-)
However the quote from Ltn. Eppacher: "War is the only solution"
Gasalarm = "gas alert". Every day we heard this so often... At all you have 15seconds to put on your gas mask after 2 weeks no one needed longer than 5 seconds to get it out of the bag and over your head.
The rest can't be translated that well.
@ Civic: no comment.
