Army Quotes, Quotations & Sayings

The proximity of an army causes prices to go up; and high prices cause people’s substance to be drained away. When their substance is drained away, they will be afflicted by heavy exactions. With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare, and their incomes dissipated.
Sun Tzu

Build up your credit
Build up your self esteem
Build up your bank account
Moving up in the scene

Build up an army
And SMASH it to pieces!

Where are they now that we, the men whom they sent off to war, have returned? These are commanders who have deserted their troops, and there is no more serious crime in the law of war. The Army says they never leave their wounded. The Marines say they never leave even their dead. These men have left all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude. They have left the real stuff of their reputation bleaching behind them in the sun in this country.
Senator John Kerry

Not taking jailbirds has been our policy for decades.
Bryan Hilferty

Michael Palin
