So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.

Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.

Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?

A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

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.

...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.

War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
