“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country”

“...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.”

“To be a successful soldier, you must know history.”

“I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.”

“Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.”

“An Army is a team. It lives sleeps eats and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is pure horse shit”

“A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite time in the future.”
