...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.

The god of war hates those who hesitate.

In landing operations, retreat is impossible, to surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish. above all else remember that we as attackers have the initiative, we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and without rest.

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed! Gen.

Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

It is rather interesting how you get used to death.
