They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance!

(1813 – 1864) American teacher & Union Army general in the Civil War

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.

The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.

The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.

Friendly fire – isn’t.

Any military project will take twice as long as planned, cost twice as much, and produce only half of what is wanted.

Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out.

I wanted to join the Army… the sign said 'Be All That You Can Be'… they told me it wasn't enough.

(1966 – ) American stand-up comic

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Never trust a private with a loaded weapon, or an officer with a map and compass.

No matter which way you have to march, its always uphill.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.

Friendly fire — isn't.

Once the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.

The only time suppressive fire works is when it is used on abandoned positions.

Fortify your front; you’ll get your rear shot up.

Anything you can do can get you killed – including doing nothing.

Smart bombs have bad days too.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions:
1. When you’re ready for them. 2. When you’re not ready for them.
