"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have."

"The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or the next. It was the deep knowledge -- and pray to God we have not lost it -- that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest."

-President Ronald Reagan at Normandy, on the 40th Anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1984

"War is for the people who can't think different"

Well, until your writings are translated into every language on earth and studied by scholars, I'm gonna stick with Aristotle.  Wink

Here's one about air combat:

"Fight on and fly on to the last drop of blood and the last drop of fuel, to the last beat of the heart."

"People have killed only when they could not achieve their aim in other ways ... there is a broadened strategy, with intellectual weapons ... why should I demoralize the enemy by military means if I can do so better and more cheaply in other ways?"

"They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29 to 1. They can't get away from us now!"

-Col Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC, at the Chosin Reservoir

When the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines and the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty ratio on an enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. That's around 400,000 enemy soldiers versus about 12,000 Marines.

I urge the leaders in Europe and around the world to take swift, decisive action against terror groups such as Hamas, to cut off their funding, and to support - cut funding and support, as the United States has done.
- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., June 25, 20

We had a good Cabinet meeting, talked about a lot of issues. Secretary of State and Defense brought us up to date about our desires to spread freedom and peace around the world.

Some quotes ive found in researching WWI.  If you decide to not read them all, i strongly encourage you to read at least the last one.

My company had to take a trench. We had been told it was at seventymeters: it was more than two hundred. It was necessary to crawl and keep still: all the world was up and screaming. My half platoon held the left. I had six men around when I reached the German wire, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening.

I stepped over their bodies, the next morning, about four o'clock.

I found the first pantless, as if claws had scratched his trousers off. His buttocks exposed, cut back and forth as though by a butcher's knife. The second hung whole on a bush, his head balancing on the end of the highest branch, like the head of a dead sparrow. The others were rolled into a porridge of mud and blood. I didn't look at them. I returned on all fours, my blanket around my neck and my packs under my chest. When i caught sight of the stones of our trenches, I straightened up and cried out. I was pulled in by the legs and was given cold coffee and rum to drink. The slopes were covered in haze.
What have we done? We have gone ahead under the shrapnel, lost, decimated, from the very first hundred meters. All officers down.


Sergent Paul Crazin, 1915, assault on the heights between Saint-Mihiel and Apremount.

In tiny little attacks, partial attacks, attacks made solely for the communiqu?s, three or four hundred thousand men were lost...Hartmannswillerkopf cost us, without a meter of trench being taken, fifteen thousand men.

Abel Ferry, 1915

I go like an animal driven to the abbatoir...we meet the wounded, all BCA...in an uninterrupted procession, with haggard faces.
"Ah! You go down there too," they say. "A beautiful slaughter-house!"
Such are the encouragements that follow us in our descent, while already some shells come to flay the woods...

Sergeant Bernardin, 1915, Hartmannswillerkopf

Two steps farther, a wounded man, nearly naked to his waist, sits in the frozen rain, "I am cold!" he moans through chattering teeth...As we go up, cadavers make themselves more numerous. On a section of barbed wire that has been cut by hand, I count a cluster of ten dead. While approaching the top, two captains of the 14th BCA, recognizeable by their beautiful black tunics trimmed in gold...

Everywhere are the dead, and even some injured, most of the cadavers have been covered with canvas until the stretcher bearers have time to collect and bury them. One of these sad packets lies on the parapet in front of where we take up our position. However here the canvas quivers and emits a plaintive cry.
"But he isnt dead!" I say to a soldier who watches from across the gap.
"Not yet. But the Major said it was useless to evacuate him, he was f---. He's been like that for forty-eight hours..."


French Soldier, Sixty-Sixth Alpine Division (Elite)1915 Hartmannswillerkopf.

We set to work to bury poeple. We pushed them into the sides of the trenches but bits of them kept getting uncovered and sticking out, like people in a badly made bed. Hands were the worst; they would escape from the sand, pointing, begging - even waving! There was one which we all shook when we passed, saying, "Good morning," in a posh voice. Everybody did it. The bottom of the trench was springy like a mattress because of all the bodies underneath...
