One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.
The enemy are only 50 yards from us. We are heavily outnumbered. We are under devastating fire. I shall not withdraw an inch but will fight to our last man and our last round.
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
We're like America's little pit bull. They beat it, starve it, mistreat it, and once in a while they let it out to attack somebody.
The mere absence of war is not peace.
You are attempting to be logical, I suspect, and logic has little to do with government, and nothing at all to do with military administration.
I offer a better way for America with ideas that actually work, a reformed tax code that rewards free enterprise instead of just enterprising lobbyists. A reformed health care system that operates by free choice instead of by force and doesn't leave you answering to cold, clueless bureaucrats. A commitment to a renewed commitment to building a 21st Century military and giving our veterans the care that they were promised and the care that they earned.
Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.
Take a look at the Supreme Court decision that just authorized an effort by U. S. claimants against Iran for terrorist acts. What are the terrorist acts? The terrorist acts are bombings of U. S. military installations in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, which Iran is claimed to have something to do with. Well suppose they did. That's not terrorism. I mean if we have a military base in Lebanon that while we're shelling Lebanese naval ships, the Navy is shelling Lebanese installations and somebody attacks [that's not terrorism].
There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.
If only more of today's military personnel would realize that they are being used by the owning elite's as a publicly subsidized capitalist goon squad.
The true greatness of a nation lies in its character, not in its economic or military power.
Every time the Secretary of Defense tries to get a hand on his many intelligence programs, we hear warnings about the dire consequences to liberty. When you look behind those warnings, what you really see is the CIA trying to preserve its perks.
This is something else that is drilled into us in the military: Make sure you know who your replacement is, in case you become a casualty. So you have to have depth within an organization.
A single blow must destroy the enemy. . . without regard of losses. . . a gigantic all-destroying blow.
If you're worried about the deficit, pay attention to the fact that it's almost all attributable to military spending and the totally dysfunctional health program.
Natural hazards, however formidable, are inherently less dangerous and less uncertain than fighting hazards. All conditions are more calculable, all obstacles more surmountable than those of human resistance.
That's really the big inspiration of this movie. It's really looking at a man who's really showing all the traits and all the characteristics of the classic patriarchal country, where he's of military power, he's the king of the hill at home, as well as in the streets. He has the liberty to live where he wants.
The latest developments in Iraq are deeply troubling, but as the United States considers military and diplomatic responses to the actions of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) action, we should be clear that U. S. troops on the ground cannot go a million miles near a sectarian civil war-it's simply not an option.
Officers in command of colored troops are in constant habit of pressing all able-bodied slaves into the military service of the U. S.
