Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
Wars are not won by fighting battles; wars are won by choosing battles
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
You fight like you train.
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts
The obvious thing for the cavalryman to do is to accept the fighting machine as a partner, and prepare to meet more fully the demands of future warfare.
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally.
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
