Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

I am the best damn ass-kicker in the whole U.S. Army!

Go forward until the last round is fired and the last drop of gas is expended...then go forward on foot!

Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
