Favorite Commander Quote

[Stonewall Jackson 6]

Tell us about your favorite commander’s quote. Mine would have to be 

“An army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is pure horse shit. The bilious bastards who write that kind of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don’t know anything more about real fighting under fire than they do about f-cking.”

— General George Patton

They're on our right, they're on our left, they're in front of us, they're behind us; they can't get away from us this time. chesty puller

[LetFreedomRing 5,754]

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. George S. Patton

Not a quote but a Silent Gesture...

 

when anyone would question the city’s lack of fortification and dared to ask the king “where is your wall,” he would simply point in silence towards his Spartans as an answer.

 

They held a not so humble belief that “a city is well-fortified when it has a wall of men instead of brick,” (Lycurgus) for bricks can fall and be conquered, but a Spartan never will. And rightfully so.

 

-Lycurgus of Sparta
