O
"it is the soldier, not the reporter, who gives us
freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who gives us the
freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives
us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag,
who serves under it, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the
protestor to burn the flag."
- Father Davis Edward O' Brien Srg. USMC
"Anybody who doesn't have fear is an idiot. It's just
that you must make the fear work for you. Hell, when somebody shot at me, it
made me madder than hell, and all I wanted to do was shoot back."
- General Robin Olds, USAF.
"If they (the
young pilots) are on land, they would be bombed down, and if they are in the
air, they would be shot down. That's sad...Too sad...To let the young men die
beautifully, that's what Tokko is. To give beautiful death, that's called
sympathy."
- Admiral Takijiro Onishi (Note: Tokko means suicidal attack in
Japanese)
"We
knew the world could not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried.
Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the
Bhagavad Gita: "I am became Death, the destroyers of worlds." I
suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
- Robert
Oppenheimer
"The
atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those
last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different
country."
- Robert
Oppenheimer
"We sleep
safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence
on those who would do us harm."
- George Orwell
"The quickest
way of ending a war is to lose it."
- George Orwell
"It is the act
of a coward to wish for death."
- Ovid, 43 b.c.-18
