Here's some interesting quotations about my fellow warriors. Some, you may have heard before, while others might be new to you:
"You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to
the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and
the amusing thing about it is that they are."
Father Kevin Keaney, 1st MarDiv Chaplain, Korean War
“The Spartans do not enquire
how many the enemy are, but
where they are.”
Agis II, 427 B.C.
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.”
General George S. Patton Jr.
“I LIKE MARINES, BECAUSE BEING A MARINE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. WE'RE
NOT A SOCIAL CLUB OR A FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION AND WE DON'T PRETEND TO
BE ONE. WE'RE A BROTHERHOOD OF "WARRIORS" -- NOTHING MORE, NOTHING
LESS, PURE AND SIMPLE. WE ARE IN THE ASS-KICKING BUSINESS, AND
UNFORTUNATELY, THESE DAYS BUSINESS IS GOOD.
COLONEL JAMES. M. LOWE, COMMANDER, MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, 2004
"When you men get home and face an anti-war protester, look him
in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend, because she
knows she's dating a pussy."
Attributed to General Tommy Franks
