"Don't sell the skin of the bear, before you shot him."

"Keep your women close and your dick hard."

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill

Democracy.. is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.
-PLATO

It's the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press.
Its the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
Its the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
Its the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right for a fair trial.
Its the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.
-Father O'Brien, USMC
