There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.

Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.

The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.

The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.

An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.

Battle... brings out all that is best.
