“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead.  The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse.  All war depends upon it.” - Lt Ronald Speirs, Easy Company, 506th Infantry Regiment

“They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1.
They can’t get away from us now!”

- Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller, USMC
When the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines and the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty ratio on an enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. An enemy division is 16500+ men while a Marine division is 12500 men.

“We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.”

To defend the city of Manila from the attacking American army
in ‘45 the Japanese stripped artillery from ships and reassembled it
inland at places like Nichols Field (where my paratrooper dad
earned his million $ wound). A paratrooper officer was on the radio
with a superior officer and said the following, “Sir, you can tell
Admiral Halsey he can stop looking for the Jap navy. It’s here
on Nichols Field!”

“May the sky refuse to stand over them. May the earth refuse to support them. May their steps be confused, may their insides be twisted. May they do nothing in secret that is not broadcast from the rooftops, may their weapons betray them. With a free will for the good of all, may it be.” – Unknown
