All the rest of us - you and me and even the thousands of soldiers behind the lines in Africa - we want terribly yet only academically for the war to get over.
The war imbued my tin soldiers with quite a new interest. It was impossible to have boxes enough of them.
I think that you can honour the sacrifices of a common soldier without glorifying war.
The whole idea that the rescue was staged or the soldiers were shooting blanks, that's just obvious stuff. Why would you do that in the middle of a war? It's just crazy.
This is all about a media war that continues to rage between the old and new media. Unfortunately for our soldiers, these brave Americans are caught in the crossfire.
We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war.
As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Father Barry: Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary. They better wise up! Taking Joey Doyle's life to stop him from testifying is a crucifixion. And dropping a sling on Kayo Dugan because he was ready to spill his guts tomorrow...
No man is a man until he has been a soldier.
Soldiers can sometimes make decisions that are smarter than the orders they've been given.
Every soldier in the course of time exists only in the breath of written word.
If your heart loses the ability to trust, you'll never love again.
You'd be surprised what poison is often hidden in the most beautiful camouflage.
