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.

We said "gas gas gas" three times fast....but the 3rd time you were supposed to have your mask on....generally in under 8 seconds.  Oh, the wonderful memories of NBC training! (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Warfare, for those of you not in the loop).

"From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots."

-Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States

He also said:

Quote
A democracy is nothing more than a form of government where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Not a war quote I know but I thought it would be interesting to add that comment because of how much I feel it rings true after the recent election in the United States.

Lets see how long it takes me to get an unfriendly response / death threat. Or maybe the forum has changed.... doubt it.

You rotten bastard! I hate your guts and i hope yo-Oh, wrong forum.  Sorry.

Carry on!

My own little contribution, shamelessly stolen from CoD:

The goal of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other poor bastard die for his.

Patton was a real character. He once was visiting the wounded at a hospital to keep morale and he went by everyone's bed asking them what their injuries were and about themselves. He got to one soldier who claimed to have shell shock. Patton called him a pussy and took out his gun and tried to shoot the man. He almost lost his job for that.

Heres a quote from the Roman General who defeated Hannibal. It's actually an amazing story, don't know how the bastard did it. Overlooked in most respects.


Quote
"Go, therefore, to meet the foe with two objects before you, either victory or death. For men animated by such a spirit must always overcome their adversaries, since they go into battle ready to throw away their lives.”
 -   Scipio Africanus 202 BC Roman general (the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars), in an address to the Roman Army before the battle of Zama.


If your into this military history stuff check out the book "Scipio Africanus greater than Napoleon." This guy basically takes a bunch of rejects his political rivals game him and turns them into soldiers that defeat the seasoned veterans that have been kicking the Roman's asses for years.

Lonewolf: I haven't decided just got an email saying the forum was moved and decided to see what was up.

"Life, for all it has been, is good. Every encounter, every event worth experiencing.  I believe in my God, my country and my fellow man. I believe in the worth of every individual and that human dignity is worth every sacrifice necessary to maintain it.

I am the soldier of righteousness, I am the warrior of humanity.  I am the goodness of my life.  If I die before my time, if I live beyond my expectation, let it be said that my life was good and that I was true to myself, my god, my country, my fellow man.

There are no regrets.  No petty hatred, only a contentment.  I have lived, I have contributed, I have loved.   This is the essence of my existence, this is the worth of my life."


-Carl Thomas Poole
Captain, United States Air Force, 1977


(the above words were written by Carl Poole only two weeks before his death, and read aloud by his widow at the memorial service)
 
F-111F 73-0718 Crashed and destroyed 5 October 1977 near Landau Ramstein after flight into terrain during an attempt to get VFR in deteriorating weather.  Exercise Cloudy Chorus sortie. There was no emergency call.  Killed were CAPT Stephen H. Reid and CAPT Carl T. Poole

Nice to see some Sun Tzu in here, but since I don't have The Art of War at hand (his book), I'll go with some King Henry V:

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
  (The rest of the speech, which I had to find)
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Some stuff from Julius Ceaser (maybe not war-ish):
I was not born to die on Brutus' sword.

I am constant as the northern star.

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!

Et tu, Brute? - Then fall, Ceaser!

Ceaser, thou art revenged
Even with the sword that killed thee.

Friends, Romans, countrymen,
Lend me your... something, bah.

"no hay guerra que valga la pena, pero sus diversos resultados mejoraran nuestro porvenir", Heard long ago, i really can't reall the author of this.

Aprox in english: "There's no war that worths itself, but its differents outcomes will improve our future".

"Four other pieces of equipment that most senior officers came to regard as among the most vital to our success in Africa and Europe were the bulldozer, the jeep, the 2½-ton truck, and the C-47 airplane. Curiously, none of these is designed for combat."

'Whatever it was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?' Cpt Edmund Blackadder, commenting on their schemes when trying to get out of an assault during WWI that would surely cost them their lives.
