War Quotes

The only way to secure the peace, Senator, as I'm sure you know, is to be prepared. See, we can parachute these robot guys behind enemy lines. They hide out till the first strike blows over, then each one of these little boogers carries a 25-megaton bomb right up the middle of main street Moscow, like the mailman bringing bad news. We call it "Operation Got You Last."

But don't fall down, SOLDIER! Get up and go again.
Don't think to heaven or hell, and what lies ahead.
The shoulders of your friends are with you, the prayers of your family are with you,
And the thought — Victory is coming soon! He will wipe away your tears.

You don't know anything.
You think that the world is at peace.
But it's built upon the suffering of others!
Master Shin knew this.
He told us why the world was constantly at war.
Because every person is consumed by fear.
And fear turns into hate.
Because fear tricks and cloudclouds your judgment.

If we don't end war, war will end us.

H. G. Wells

Meaningful Quotes

Italians lose wars as if they were football matches, and football matches as if they were wars.

This is wartime, this is our time
We won't be denied
Feed the fire that is raging inside
This is go time, this is showtime
We will fight till their wills are broken
This is game time, an insane time
Let the madness fly
Show the strength that just can't be defied
Find the power to devour
Let the beast inside now be woken.

Even if this world is worthless to you, you really think that you can get away with starting a war and trying to say that you're nobody?

Dr. Goebbels had a dream of producing the pageant annually in Warsaw after the war, of letting the ruins of the ghetto stand forever as a setting for it.
'There would be Jews in the pageant?' I asked him.
'Certainly' he said, 'thousands of them.'
'May I ask, sir,' I said, 'where you expect to find any Jews after the war?'

20 years ago this was Germany and now it's Denmark. Perhaps I should be ashamed of this, but it doesn't matter much to me. It matters greatly to me. Thank you for your help.

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

A civil war that polarized the country to this day, with much denied, little remembered, nothing regretted and, perhaps, nothing learned.

The Untold History of the United States

Freelance journalist S. Hersh in nov. 1969 broke the news that a year and a half earlier US forces had massacred up to 500 civilians in the village of My Lai nicknamed Pinkville for its strong enemy sympathies. Babies, pregnant women and old people had been scalped and mutilated as command of the situation broke down. Not a single shot had been clearly fired at US forces. Indicative of the growing dehumanization of this time, and resembling US attitudes towards the Japanese in WW2 65% of Americans told pollsters they were not bothered by the news of massacre. The only officer found guilty was given a partial pardon by Nixon public opinion strongly in favor.
