What are your favorite military quotes of all time. - Oct 07, 2004 01:59
Please choose your top 3 favorite military quotes from this website if you do not know of any.: http://www.military-quotes.com/quotes.htm


My top 3 are:

1.) No b*stard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb b*stard die for his country- General Patton.
2.) The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic- Josef Stalin
3.)A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon- Napoleon Bonaparte

Thanks...I just wish Bush and Cheney would have thought of this quote before they sent our troops to war for false causes!

I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most used barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.-General MacArthur

One of the better retirement quotes and probably his most memorable quote.
