Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it.

For years I have been accused of making snap judgments. Honestly, this is not the case because I am a profound military student and the thoughts I express, perhaps too flippantly, are the result of years of thought and study.

A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.

If everybody's thinking the same thing, then nobody's thinking.

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