"Pain is your friend, cuz everytime you feel pain, you know you're still alive"

GI Jane

hehehehehe

"Pain is your freind, it will keep you awake and alert through the nights.  It will anger you and remind you of what the enemy has done to you.  And you know the best thing about pain?  It lets you know you're still alive!"

Something I just found on the net:

Quote[/b] ]

We were delighted recently with an anecdote reported to us by family member Sam Mantooth. It seems that a Finnish veteran of the Russian war was being interviewed about his experiences of those days.

Q: "You saw a lot of infantry action?"

A: "Much."

Q: "Did you ever engage in a fire fight?"

A: "Often."

Q: "Did you ever have occasion to shoot at a human being?"

A: "Yes, several times."

Q: "Did you find this difficult."

A: "Yes. You see they tended to duck, to get behind cover, and to run in zigzag."

not really war quotes...but something from King Arthur (2004)

"Knights! The gift of freedom is yours by right. But the home we seek resides not in some distant land, it's in us, and in our actions on this day! If this be our destiny, then so be it. But let history remember, that as free men, we chose to make it so! "

"Cerdic: You come to beg a truce, you should be on your knees.

Arthur: I came to see your face so that I alone may find you on the battlefield. And it will be good of you to mark my face, Saxon, for the next time you see it, it will be the last thing you see on this earth.

"

Another:

"The art of war is deception. First, you must strike when your opponent leasts expects; in a place where he believes he is strong, but is in fact weak; with an army he believes he has already vanquished."

This isnt a war quote as such:

(taken from Time magazine)

Some on the right call you the new Jane Fonda, and joke about what you'll call your exercise video.

(Long pause?) Those on the right who say that disgrace the 12 years of service I gave to my country as a Marine. I love my country. I'll put my record of service up against anyone, bar none. If they want to have an exercise video then why don't they come here and say it to my face and I'll give'm an exercise video, which will be called, "Scott Ritter Kicking Their Ass."
