Ultimately, a real understanding of history means that we face NOTHING new under the sun.
I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.
We’ve backed off in good faith to try and give you a chance to straighten this problem out. But I am going to beg with you for a minute. I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.
The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.
There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.
There are some people who think you have to hate them in order to shoot them. I don’t think you do. It’s just business.
If in order to kill the enemy you have to kill an innocent, don’t take the shot. Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.
You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Be the hunter, not the hunted: Never allow your unit to be caught with its guard down.
PowerPoint makes us stupid.
Fight with a happy heart.
Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot.
You’ve been told that you’re broken, that you’re damaged goods and should be labeled victims. I don’t buy it. The truth, instead, is that you are the only folks with the skills, determination, and values to ensure American dominance in this chaotic world.
It is mostly a matter of wills. Whose will is going to break first? Ours or the enemy’s?
There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.
A country that armed Stalin to defeat Hitler can certainly work alongside enemies of al-Qaida to defeat al-Qaida.
Treachery has existed as long as there’s been warfare, and there’s always been a few people that you couldn’t trust.
It’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up front with you, I like brawling.
The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event.
