When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.

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.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.

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.

In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.

Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
