"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.
Best war quotes, eh?
I'm gonna go with every sentence of "The Art of War."
Another quote I believe has alot of meaning to the bastard Bush n Cheny.
"I allow mistakes, but I also allow consequences"
The consequences to them will be severe.
Well, seeing as how I was named after a famous Field Marshall of WWII, I feel obligated to post here. My favorites from Erwin Rommel are:
"Be an example to your men in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered, and teach your subordinates to be the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide."
"I would be rather more happy had he given me one more division." Comment after Hitler made him a Field Marshall.
"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it."
A funny one from Patton: "Rommel, you magnificent bastard! I read your book!"
Sepp Dietrich said this of Rommel(and I think it applies to me lol): "Rommel was jumpy, wanted to do everything at once, then lost interest. Rommel was my superior in command in Normandy. I cannot say Rommel wasn't a good general. When successful, he was good; during reverses, he became depressed."
My personal favorite, because it applies to the politics forum - "Mortal danger is an effective antidote for fixed ideas."
Sorry. No EDIT button. :(

My persojnal favorite so far is
"In the abscence of orders go find something and kill it"
That reminds me, perhaps I should go watch Duck Soup again and maybe I'll get a good quote rfom groucho marx.

Too bad there were never any great Canadian generals to make witty quotes for the Canadians to smugly repeat.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Reckless? Who told you that? George S Patton was an outstanding general who's actions saved the lives of many of his enemy aswell as his own men.
During the third army's campaigns the enemy lost an estimated 1,280,688 captured, 144,500 killed, and 386,200 wounded, adding up to 1,811,388. By comparison, the Third Army suffered 16,596 killed, 96,241 wounded, and 26,809 missing in action for a total of 139,646 casualties. Third Army's losses were only 12.97 percent of the German losses. That is only about 13 American soldiers for every 100 German soldiers.

Overall 1944/45 Campaign German KIA/DOW: 263,000; Allied KIA/DOW: 186,900; German KIA/DOW per 100 Allied KIA/DOW: 141

Easy to say when you have nothing to lose.

Sir Arthur Currie, Hero of Vimy Ridge and Great Canadian General who led the Canadians in World War I. He is considered one of the best generals on the Western Front and he is credited with fashioning the Canadians as one of the most effective forces in World War I.
I am glad he did not go to the witty with this. War isn't witty. This is one of the most beautiful quotes about the fallen that I could find.
"To those who fall I say: You will not die but step into immortality. Your mothers will not lament your fate but will be proud to have borne such sons. Your names will be revered forever and ever by your grateful country, and God will take you unto Himself."
And a Canadian patriotic quote by him as well:
"I am a good enough Canadian to believe, if my experience justifies me in believing, that Canadians are best served by Canadians."
