No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
James Allen

I oppose the spending of trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I strongly oppose Islamic extremism but don't believe that sending troops to die in two unwinnable wars makes sense.
Roger Stone
Image
In the end, what your own troops do is more important than who they are marching against.
Don Meyer
Image
I believe that the issue of mental health services for our troops deploying or returning from combat is one that demands the attention of this body, if only for a few minutes today.
Rosa DeLauro
Image
A general never shows despair. He instills confidence in his troops. He leads them forward, even into the mouth of death.
Rick Riordan

In contrast, Western historians, and those in South Korea, say the North attacked the South on June 25, 1950. Both sides agree that after the war began, the North Korean Army captured Seoul in three days and pushed as far south as Pusan before American troops arrived to drive back the North Koreans nearly as far north as the border to China.

I have seen and endured the sufferings of the troops, and I can no longer be a party to prolong these sufferings for ends which I believe to be evil and unjust.
Siegfried Sassoon

We owe our troops more than rhetoric we owe them a real plan. The Administration has yet to put forward a strategy for achieving stability in Iraq, ending the conflict, and handing over sovereignty to the people of Iraq and the new Iraqi government.
Dennis Cardoza

If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy.
Karen Hughes
Image
Conventional wisdom holds that setting a timetable for getting American troops out of Iraq would be a mistake.
Nick Clooney

It's all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. We don't act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces.
Erich Maria Remarque

The question is always how you get the number of troops needed. They do not have to be coalition forces. We also have to expand the training program for the Afghan National Army and the national police, in particular. and Defense Secretary Robert Gates has already announced support for a significant increase in the Afghan army.
David Petraeus

Forty-five percent of Iraqi citizens think it is morally okay to attack American troops.
Marty Meehan

Army requests immediate permission to surrender in order to save lives of remaining troops.
Friedrich Paulus
Image
The latest developments in Iraq are deeply troubling, but as the United States considers military and diplomatic responses to the actions of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) action, we should be clear that U.S. troops on the ground cannot go a million miles near a sectarian civil war-it's simply not an option.
Sean Patrick Maloney

Troops of furies march in the drunkard's triumph.
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Image
A professional football team warms up grimly and disparately, like an army on maneuvers: the ground troops here, the tanks there, the artillery and air force over there.
Ted Solotaroff
Image
Withdrawal of US troops will become like salted peanuts to the American public: The more US troops come home, the more will be demanded.
Henry A. Kissinger
Image
It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are won by troops which have a strong will for victory, clear goals before them, high moral standards, and devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.
Georgy Zhukov
Image
The U.N. is asking Italy to oversee this effort. And if a government is formed, you're likely to see up to 5,000 Italian troops maybe go in to provide security and also train a Libyan army.
Tom Bowman

The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle.
Naomi Wolf
Image
According to my assessment, even if you have many more troops than others, how can that help you to victory?
Sun Tzu
Image
Proscription, martial law, the billeting of the rude troops, the tax collector, the unjust judge, anything at all, is sweeter than responsibility.
Mary McCarthy
Image
To expect ... the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is.
