"Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography."
(Paul Rodriguez)

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
(Gen. MacArthur)

You, you, and you . . . Panic. The rest of you, come with me.
(Marine Gunnery Sergeant)

Don't ever be the first, don't ever be the last, and don't ever volunteer to do anything.
(US Navy Seaman)

Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
(Army Platoon Sergeant)

If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly.
(David Hackworth)

Your job is to kill the other person before they kill you so that your national leaders can negotiate a peace that will last as long as it takes the ink to dry.
(Drill Instructor)

I've seen most of these on the death screens of a videogame I used to play. They're all good. On more I remember was:

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
-Albert Einstein

Real Chiefs know that Ensigns should be seen and not heard, and NEVER read books on leadership.

The complexity of the weapon will always be inversely proportional to the IQ of the operator.

There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Military way.
