Wars, Battle Tactics, Considerations ...
"...we must prepare or perish!" - General Marshall's report to the Secretary of War in 1945

"War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men." - Georges Clemenceau

"We do not want wars even when we win. We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel." - Golda Meir, Prime minister of Israel in 1969

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." - Dwight David Eisenhower (1890 - 1969), 1953

"If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done." - Peter Ustinov

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the field and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender ..."

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty and so brace ourselves that if the British Commonwealth and Empire lasts for 1,000 years, men will say, ‘This was their finest hour'" ... "No appeasement of the armed enemy, no revenge on the beaten enemy ... look ahead to what you want and remember that every action has consequences which effect the goal." Winston Churchill, English prime minister, noble prize for literature, 1953

"If we have a slim chance of survival, it lies in the possibility to get rid of wars." - Edward Teller, co-developed the atomic and the hydrogen bombs

"Never attack where the enemy expects you to come." - George S. Patton, U.S. Army general

"The commander must decide how he will fight the battle before it begins .... He must make the enemy dance to his tune from the beginning and not vice versa." - Bernard Laws Montgomery, Monty, Britain's top commander in WW2

"When it came to war, the only thing certain was uncertainty." - Karl von Clausewitz, Prussian general, "On War" thought to be the most important and influential work on war written

War, making decisions
"A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader." - Golda Meir, politician

"War is like other arts: helpful when used well and pernicious when abused; the prince who goes to war because he is worried, frivolous, disorganized or ambitious is as damnable as a judge who uses the sword of justice to stab an innocent." - Frederick the Great, Prussian King

War strategies
"Never give up the pursuit as long as your men have strength to follow. For an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number." - Gen. Thomas ‘Stonewall' Jackson

"If I thought my coat knew my plans, I would take it off and burn it." - Frederick the Great

Warriors code
"Being a warrior is really about self-mastery and perfection, and you work to that every day. It is the struggle that is really important." - Nicholas St. George, chief executive of Oakwood Homes Corp., IBD

War Politics
"Every country in the world makes its choice on the continuum between freedom and slavery. The enslaver-terrorist regimes at one extreme have been put on notice: Either conform to the norm of civilization or risk perishing by the same means you rule: brute force." - Alice K. Miller, letter to the editor IBD 4/16/03

"Martyrdom... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability." - George Bernard Shaw

Weakness
"Live in terms of your strong points. Magnify them. Let your weaknesses shrivel up and die from lack of nourishment." - William Young Elliott, poet

"People do not lack strength; they lack will." - Victor Hugo, novelist

 

Gun Interview Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: "Were going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting".

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range".

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit, that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"

GENERAL REINWALD: "Don't see how,..... we will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a fire-arm".

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers".

GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"The radio went silent and the interview ended...
