"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices? Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, - go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
--- Samuel Adams in a speech delivered at the State House in Philadelphia, 1 August 1776

Shakespeare....but don't recall which...

" I love the smell of napalm in the morning" : Robert Duvall

"They got what they deserved!"

"Our [peace] demonstrations at Kent State saved the lives of many servicemen." (campybob paraphrased)

Where in the hell is that F____en gunship

These are some of my favorite quotes

“A good plan executed violently now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”

“There is a tendency in each separate unit...to be a one-handed puncher. By that I mean that a rifleman wants to shoot, the tanker wants to charge, the artillery wants to fire...that is not the way to win battles. If a band played a piece first with a piccolo, then with the brass horn, then with the clarinet, and then with the trumpet, there would be a hell of a lot of noise, but no music. To get harmony in music, each instrument must support each other. Team play wins. You musicians of mars must come into this concert at the proper place and proper time.”


"I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did"

"the poorer the quality of the troops, the more artillery they need. American troops need a lot of artillery."
General George S. Patton,

“It is firepower and firepower alone that arrives at the right time and place that counts in modern war.”
B. H. Liddell Hart,

“Formerly, to win a victory the fighting force needed only strength and courage; Today it must have artillery.”

“Do not forget your dogs of war, your big guns, which are the most-to- be respected arguments of the rights of kings"
Fredrick the Great

“It's far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.”


"The speed, accuracy and devastating power of American artillery won confidence and admiration from the troops it supported and inspired fear and respect in their enemy"
Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference to this world. The Marines don't have that problem."
Ronald Reagan


"A soldier, full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation, even in the cannon's mouth"
Shakespeare


"Artillery conquers and infantry occupies"
J.F.C. Fuller


"In many situations that seemed desperate, the artillery has been a most vital factor"
Gen Douglas Macarthur


"the harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry, and in fact all the arms, lean on the gunners"
Field Marshal Montgomery


"Nothing is more destructive than the charge of artillery on a crowd"  

"The best generals are those who have served in the artillery"

"God fights on the side with the best artillery"
Napoleon

"Flying steel has an inevitability all its own"

"Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl"
Unknown


"Guns will make us powerful, butter will only make us fat"
Hermann Goering


"Artillery succeeded where, otherwise, we would have failed"--General Charles P. Summerall

”If the Marines can do it, why the hell cannot we?  They are the same type of men as us”

"The World War demonstrated the importance of field artillery. The majority of casualties were inflicted by the arm"
Gen John J. Pershing


"Artillery is the god of war"
Stalin


"Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon in front of them, volley'd and thunder'd; storm'd at with shot and shell"
Tennyson


"The work for giants...to serve well the guns"!
Walt Whitman

"Renown awaits the commander who first restores artillery to its prime importance on the battlefield"
Winston Churchill
