Gen. Patton most of all.<br /><br />"Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!"<br />- General George S. Patton, Jr<br /><br />"An army is a team.

Two of my favorite quotes about ...Nice collection!<br /><br />Two of my favorite quotes about war come from the late Anthony Minghella's movie <i>Cold Mountain</i>:<br /><br />"I imagine God is weary of being called down on both sides of an argument."<br />~ Inman in <i>Cold Mountain</i> (Anthony Minghella, screenwriter)<br /><br />"Every piece of this is man's bullshit. They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say 'Shit, it's raining!'"<br />~ Ruby Thewes in <i>Cold Mountain</i> (Anthony Minghella, screenwriter)<br /><br />And you can always rely on Ursula K. LeGuin for a good anti-war quote:<br /><br />"If civilization has an opposite, it is war. Of those two things,you can have either one or the other. Not both."<br />-- Ursula K. LeGuin, <i>The Left Hand of Darkness</i>Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.com
