ORIGINAL: Wirraway_Ace Sorry, but I could do this all day... Mike keep 'em coming! A few of my favorites (plus a couple I just found): No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle. John F. Kennedy "I don't care what color you are, so long as you go up there and kill those Kraut sons of bitches. If you need me, you can always find me in the lead tank." George S. Patton, in welcoming the 761st Black Panther Tank Battalion to the 3rd Army, the first black tankers to fight in the U.S. Army. Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. George S. Patton The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst. Henry Fosdick It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same. Thomas Paine "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry "Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals." Colman McCarthy "Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and fire fighters fight fire, then what do freedom fighters fight? Those bastards don’t tell anyone that part, do they?" George Carlin Chez
