| Buttercup  | Howdy, Tank. How about heading over to the Welcoming Center and introducing yourself. I'm also afraid that we're going to need you to change your name to exclude "General" as per the forum rules. Send Redleg a PM with your new name choice. Thank you for your cooperation.

| Centurion | “If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.” -Jack Handey

| Immunes | "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference, and our Marines don't have that problem." - President Ronald Reagan, 1985 or "Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price." - Sun Zi or "Onward we stagger, and if the tanks come, may God help the tanks." - Col. William O. Darby, U.S. Rangers or (last one) "People sleep peacably at night in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell The first one is my favorite, but the other three are good, too.

| Tirones | Post; Orwell's Rough Men quote?Did George Orwell really say it? It seems like it's a bit of a mystery: http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/ctc...q.htm#RoughMen One thing is certain: Orwell knew how to use a gun. He hunted in his youth and left Britain to fight in the Spanish Civil War during the late 1930s. >Jenn< |

| Optio  | This isn't military but I love it anyway. Let me win, but if I can not win, let me be brave in the attempt. That's the pledge of the athletes of the special olympics, and if you think about it, they are soliders with a cause too. HOOOAH! |
