John Stuart Mill
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and
patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person, who has
nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal
safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself.”
Father Denis E. O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the
poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has
given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the
flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.”
General Norman Schwarzkopf
“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”
