"For all the '4th Generation of War' intellectuals running around today saying that the nature of war has fundamentally changed, the tactics are wholly new, etc., I must respectfully say,
'Not really':
Alexander the Great would not be in the least bit perplexed by the enemy that we face right now in Iraq, and our leaders going into this fight do their troops a disservice by not studying- studying, vice just reading - the men who have gone before us. We have been fighting on this planet for 5,000 years and we should take advantage of their experience.
'Winging it' and filling body bags as we sort out what works reminds us of the moral dictates and the cost of competence in our profession."
Marine General James MattisNov. 20, 2003, Addressing the detractors of untested Marine tactics in Iraq.

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers.
We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war.
And this is war.”
Ann Coulter
