I think any student of military strategy would tell you that in order to attack a position, you should have a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 in favor of the attacker.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
I've got to tell you what, the soldier doesn't fight very hard for a leader who is going to shoot him, okay, on his own whim. That's not what military leadership is all about.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
Carpet bombing tends to portray something that's totally indiscriminate, you know, en masse without regard to the target.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
War's a profanity because, let's face it, you've got two opposing sides trying to settle their differences by killing as many of each other as they can.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
Quote by -Woody Allen
“To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman.”
Quote by -George Santayana
I hope we shall abolish war and settle all differences at the conference table.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. Douglas MacArthur
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
Quote by -Douglas MacArthur
“Ford carried on counting quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a computer, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying "Blood...blood...blood...blood...”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
Even though there wasn't much damage, it's a disgrace that the skies over the imperial capital should have been defiled without a single enemy plane being shot down. It provides a regrettably graphic illustration of the saying that a bungling attack is better than the most skillful defense.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
I'm against war with the United States. But I am an officer of the Imperial Navy and a subject of His Majesty the Emperor.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
A military man can scarcely pride himself on having 'smitten a sleeping enemy'; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it is not enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. To make victory certain, we would have to march into Washington and dictate the terms of peace in the White House. I wonder if our politicians, among whom armchair arguments about war are being glibly bandied about in the name of state politics, have confidence as to the final outcome and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
To fight the United States is like fighting the whole world. But it has been decided. So I will fight the best I can.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
I entered the navy with the great ambition of becoming a naval soldier and going to war. Either I die from this festering wound - because I refuse to have my arm amputated - or I recover from it and continue being a soldier. I have a one-in-two chance, and I shall bet my life on it!
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
As long as tides of war are in our favor, the United States will never stop fighting. As a consequence, the war will continue for several years, during which materiel will be exhausted, vessels and arms will be damaged, and they can be replaced only with great difficulties.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”
Quote by -Aeschylus
"I told him that instead of focusing on eradicating terrorism through war, he should focus on eradicating it through education."
Quote by -Malala Yousafzai
"Rather I receive your bullet riddled body with honor that us of your cowardliness on the battlefield."
Quote by -Malala Yousafzai
"Told him that instead of focusing on eradicating terrorism through war, he should focus on eradicating it through education."
Quote by -Malala Yousafzai
Anyone who is a Palestinian citizen, whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim, should decide together in a very free referendum. There is no need for war. There is no need for threats or an atom bomb either.
Quote by -Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
I appeal for cessation of hostilities, not because you are too exhausted to fight, but because war is bad in essence. You want to kill Nazism. You will never kill it by its indifferent adoption.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
I saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren't able to live in the place you called home.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
The U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
The atomic bomb certainly is the most powerful of all weapons, but it is conclusively powerful and effective only in the hands of the nation which controls the sky.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
This is not Johnson's war. This is America's war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
This administration here and now declares unconditional war on poverty.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
Religious wars are the most terrible wars because they are waged without any prospect of conciliation.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
"It is difficult to believe in the dreadful but quiet war lurking just below the serene facade of nature."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
