Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
Tom Clancy
Image
In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.
Tom Clancy
Image
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not... Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it... Because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.

That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
Tom Clancy
Image
There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.

The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
Tom Clancy
Image
I am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.

When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.
