In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised
Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.
Sir, I am not a brave man...The truth is, I am an utter craven coward. I have never been within the sound of gunshot or in sight of battle in my whole life that I wasn't so scared that I had sweat in the palms of my hands.
I never take counsel of my fears.
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
