Memorial Day orators will say that a G.I.'s life is priceless. Don't believe it. I know what value the U.S. government assigns to a soldier's life: I've been handed the check. It's roughly what the Yankees will pay Roger Clemens per inning once he starts pitching next month.
Andrew Bacevich

We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
Image
The worse the man, the better the soldier.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Good soldiers are defined by what they can endure, not by what they can inflict.
Gregory David Roberts

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
Theodore Roosevelt

Soldiers may be wounded in battle and sent to a hospital. A hospital isn't a shelf. It's a place of repair. And a soldier in the spiritual army is never off his battlefield. He is only removed to another part of the battlefield when a wound interrupts what he was meant to do, and sets him doing something else.
Amy Carmichael

Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage and wisdom moves the world.
Ammon Hennacy

What is the world, O soldiers? It is I, I, this incessant snow, This northern sky.

I'm brilliant as well as skilled, he said modestly. It's a great burden, all of that on top of my angelic good looks. But I try to soldier on as best I can.

REVEILLE, n. A signal to sleeping soldiers to dream of battlefields no more, but get up and have their blue noses counted.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Kings play at war unfairly with republics they can only lose some earth, and some creatures they value as little, while republics lose in every soldier a part of themselves.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Image
Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca the Younger
Image
My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.

Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.

At least when Israel releases terrorists to gain the freedom of one of its soldiers, the country’s leaders have the grace to treat the decision as a regrettable action made out of necessity and nothing to celebrate.

On the road, they join the bedraggled remnants of a column of exhausted Confederate soldiers evacuating burning Atlanta. Rhett makes her take note of the scene: Take a good look, my dear. It's a historic moment. You can tell your grandchildren how you watched the Old South disappear one night.
Vivien Leigh

If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can.
Allen West

Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen volunteer to protect and defend this country and all its citizens, and do so with honor, integrity and excellence. Our nation continually asks them to do more and more, with less and less.
Allen West
Image
America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.
Allen Boyd
Image
Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilized folk to despise war.
Allan Massie
Image
What can a soldier do when mercy is treason, and he is alone in it?

There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
