"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle." - Norman Schwarzkopf (1934 - ____) US military leader

"'Tis the soldier's life to have their balmy slumbers waked with strife." - William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) English dramatist, poet

"It doesn't require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder, and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed, it won't be U. S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the senate." - George McGovern (1922 - ____) US senator

"We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier's supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it." - Band of Brothers, Episode 3: Carentan

"A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers.

Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still, there are things worth fighting for." - Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf
