            Best Military Quote Ever: "When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became
Optional, and now it's Legal. I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory."

Like them or not, here are a few:


All they that take the sword, shall perish with the sword.
 The Bible
 Matthew


All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
 Tony Benn



Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.
 Dwight D. Eisenhower


Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
 Ernest Hemingway


They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
 Ernest Hemmingway


When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing.
 Dwight D. Eisenhower

I almost forgot one of the best, From the great movie "Catch 22":


"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle."

From Sgt. Murphy USAF: If you don't like the taste of my smoke, don't screw around with my gum.  We never did know what the heck he was talking about.

Magooch:  What he is saying,  "If you don't like my smoke", his cigarettes or cigars, Then don't screw around with my gum, (His chewing gum that picks up the taste of his smoke from cigarettes or cigars).

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
