Civilians are like beans you buy 'em as needed for any job which merely requires skill and savvy. But you can't buy fighting spirit.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
Civilians listened to officers, which said a lot about the intelligence of civilians.
Tom Clancy
Image
The institutions founded 'to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war' have failed. Since the end of WW2, some thirty million people have been killed in armed conflict. Most of them were civilians.
George Monbiot
Image
When you use an armament, you use it to defend the civilians. You kill terrorists in order to defend civilians. That's the natural role of any army in the world.
Bashar al-Assad
Image
To live, mankind must recover its essential humanness and its innate divinity men must recover their capacity for humility, sanity and integrity soldier and civilians must see their hope in some other world than one completely dominated by the physical and chemical sciences.
George Stanley
Image
The part in Aleppo, what [people] call it the eastern part, is occupied by the terrorists for the last three years, and they have been using the civilians as human shields.
Bashar al-Assad
Image
In tribal society, the most important thing to do when civilians are killed in a skirmish is to acknowledge the deaths, and provide compensation. When tribal clans fight, the victor is required to take care of the vanquished widows and orphans, which puts a limitation on bloodshed, and tempers warring groups to try and negotiate a compromise.

Since the beginning of the crisis, since the terrorists started to control some areas within Syria, the majority of the Syrian civilians left that areas to join the government areas, not vice versa. If the majority of the Syrians don't trust the government, they should go the other way.
Bashar al-Assad

With the indiscriminate nature of modern military technology (no such thing as a smart bomb, it turns out) all wars are wars against civilians, and are therefore inherently immoral. This is true even when a war is considered just, because it is fought against a tyrant, against an aggressor, to correct a stolen boundary.
Howard Zinn
Image
If we accept the notion that terrorists will have immunity because as they fire on civilians they hide behind civilians, then this tactic will be legitimized and the terrorists will have their greatest victory.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
For much of my life as a journalist, I've viewed myself as being embedded with civilians and with those people who live on the other side of the barrel of a gun.
Jeremy Scahill
Image
Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
You cannot use [nuclear weapons] to target civilians you cannot use them against military targets if they have indiscriminate effects on civilians in addition to the attack on the military target.
John Burroughs
Image
Terrorism is the intentional use of, or threat to use violence against civilians or against civilian targets, in order to attain political aims.
Boaz Ganor
Image
Protecting Afghan civilians is the cornerstone of our mission.
John R. Allen
Image
Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror.
Caleb Carr
Image
Maybe we should always show pictures. Bin Laden, pictures of our wounded service people, pictures of maimed innocent civilians. We can only make decisions about war if we see what war actually is - and not as a video game where bodies quickly disappear leaving behind a shiny gold coin.
Jon Stewart
Image
I don't date civilians. I don't even try. I'm totally out of the game of dating or trying to get a girlfriend or anything like that.
Chester Brown
Image
Under international law, the responsibility for protecting civilians in conflict falls on the belligerents. Under military occupation, responsibility for the welfare of the population falls on the occupiers.
Kofi Annan
Image
We know broadly from research is that religiosity does not correlate with sympathy for terrorism. It's actually quite the opposite. The more religious someone is, the more often they go to the mosque, the more likely they are to actually reject attacks on civilians.
Chuck Todd
Image
Peace ... is a morbid condition, due to a surplus of civilians, which war seeks to remedy.
Cyril Connolly
Image
Terrorism, to me, is the use of terror for political purpose, and terror is indiscriminate murder of civilians to make a political point.
Al Franken
Image
I have no stories to sell. A lot of my relationships are with civilians, and no one wants to hear about those.
David Spade
Image
Asymmetrical warfare is a euphemism for terrorism, just like collateral damage is a euphemism for killing innocent civilians.
