It is characteristic of the military mentality that nonhuman factors (atom bombs, strategic bases, weapons of all sorts, the possession of raw materials, etc) are held essential, while the human being, his desires, and thoughts - in short, the psychological factors - are considered as unimportant and secondary...The individual is degraded...to 'human materiel'.

Albert Einstein

Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson

My hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel.

Roseanne Barr

Dead battles, like dead generals, hold the military mind in their dead grip and Germans, no less than other peoples, prepare for the last war.

Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general.

Barbara W. Tuchman

Military men are the scourges of the world.

Guy De Maupassant

And now, like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career, and just fade away...an old soldier who tried to do his duty, as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-bye.

General Douglas MacArthur

My soldiers ask of me, why surrender a military advantage in the field ... I could not answer.

General Douglas MacArthur

It appears that the President is included in the (assassination) attempt. Part of the plan is the attack on the Philippine Military Academy in February during the homecoming.

Tristan Kison

REAR, n. In American military matters, that exposed part of the army that is nearest to Congress.

Ambrose Bierce

It's always great to play for the military. Military members and their families have done so much for our country. It's always nice to give back to them any way we can.

Todd Hill

And there is no way anyone could, even if the military was twice as conscientious. It is unknowable, unless you assume that every act of abuse is immediately reported up the chain of command.

Tom Malinowski

If the involved service members are found guilty of misconduct, they will be punished according to U.S. military law.

Jason Kamiya

He is highly unpopular, ... because people in our country blame the military for destabilizing civilian government.

Benazir Bhutto

About an actress who hits rock bottom and ends up in the military reserves.

If you really want to do something about this, then change the system that allowed me to, with a few selected donations, attract the interest of the head of Chinese military intelligence.

The play was written before a lot of things that have informed how we feel about the military, but I think it is going to resonate.

Aaron Sorkin

Even if there was no war, I wouldn't be interested in the military.

Alex Woods

Actually, there are a lot of different small accessories and they can all be sort of assembled on one belt. But (they're) very, very feminine. There's nothing military about them.

Marc Jacobs

The devil is in the details, and everything we do in the military is a detail.

Hyman George Rickover

This is still a man's profession, with a lot of men who intellectually and emotionally have not accepted that the military could be women's work.

Lawrence Korb

War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men.

George Clemenceau

With the military, you make really very good friends and you have them for a very long time. That's my support.

Anthony J. Principi

Lou came down to perform there, part of his military tour.

Jerry Brookings

War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military.

Georges Clemenceau

He knew he had to get up earlier and stay up later than anybody else if he was to succeed in the military, and he did that.

Roy Ziegler

He joined the military to defend our freedom. The biggest disappointment to him was not being deployed to Afghanistan to be with his unit.

Ladonna Somers

He?s exactly what this country needs -- a military man with a strong hand to make things right and stand up for the little guy.

Oscar Lopez

There has been some LTTE military action, but most of these incidents are by the peoples' militias.

Anton Balasingham

It has more to do with the fact that there could be a delayed vote because of possible military action.

Kevin Flanagan

The CIS is a political collaboration, a forum of political communication, and is very useful for Georgia. But we are not considering the CIS from a military perspective, and our main aim is to join NATO.

Georgy Arveladze

We expect this agreement for joint training and joint use of existing military facilities in Bulgaria together with the American armed forces to increase the capacities of the Bulgarian Army.

Dimitar Tsanchev

I have a couple of family members who are in the military. So, they can help me learn. It's a different lifestyle. I'll have to grow up quickly, but I'll be the better for it.

Troy Robinson

We've provided information on lodging, financial assistance and we've matched military people with personnel folks for military accountability.

Christine Parker

It is a major sin to break a contract, especially in military situations.

John Walker Lindh

We call upon all our friendly countries and international communities to halt all type of military assistance including providing weapons.

Krishna Sitaula

My hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no more war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel.

Rosanne Barr

We will not win the war on terror through military action. The sharing of information and intelligence will be vital to protecting our country.

William S. Cohen

I had other priorities in the 60's than military service.

Dick Cheney

What I liked about them is they went so far out of their way to say the government should not be endorsing religion, because that's not always been true in the military.

Marci Hamilton

We're starting with fresh technologies and more up-to- date components, and it will be run by a civilian system and not a military environment.

Franco Bonacina

He wrote 16 books and most of them are not about flying and the military.

Scott Fraser

The idea is that it's not just the military that's going to be delivering the effect anymore. It's bringing in a lot more players. And, as a result, the planning becomes more complex.

Barbara Stephenson

I think it's really a disturbing phenomenon to see that our military personnel would be engaging in such inappropriate behavior, behavior that brings dishonor to the military.

Ibrahim Hooper

If you're going to cover the Iraqi military, you have to go with them, you have to see how they live.

Martha Raddatz

The military is on board with us larger than ever before. We have four jet demonstrations scheduled.

Inez Frid

In the West and in many places there is a baseless claim, in my eyes, that allegedly there isn't an (military) ability, and thus it was important for me to make these remarks clearly.

Moshe Yaalon

I have 30 years of military service, having served in combat.

Bill Welch

My dad fought in the Second World War, and it offends me when they put our military down. That's why I am here to defend our president.

Andy Lopez

I've filled out dozens of applications. They say you need a college education to do these jobs. Yet I was a supervisor in the military.

But the future of our military in Utah looks bright.

Rob Bishop

A Nazi-like military organization.

Marc Emery

The totality of U.S. military interventions have not left lasting, meaningful democratic institutions.

Francis Fukuyama

I'm going to let the military give me all the information they can. If they do what they're supposed to do and they tell it like it is, I'll let it go.

John Johnson

You hear about the military wanting letters, wanting mail. I thought here's an easy, easy, easy way to get a significant amount of correspondence.

Peggy Eserkaln

In keeping with our military tradition of.

Jerry Siegel

The Pentagon, by its own rules, cannot be keeping information about people that are not threats to the military.

Ben Wizner

Human rights is new for the military. They usually see human rights as a scapegoat, an instrument used by certain interests.

Indria Samego

The military has said that they will keep me on. There's lots of jobs for me, from desk jobs to training, and what I really enjoy is teaching.

Paul Franklin

There is a lot of fear. People are just hoping the military will calm things down.

Johnson Honimae

Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

Groucho Marx

Of course, there are lots of brothels near military areas and camps, as everywhere in the world.

Kate Saunders

The FSB has reliable documented evidence of active attempts by British intelligence to learn Russian military secrets.

Nikolai Patrushev

Alaska's contribution to America's freedom isn't just the oil we provide or the food we harvest from the seas or our location which is the best in the world for our military. It is more than that. It begins with the fact that Alaskans are free-thinkers.

Lisa Murkowski

The military guys, they can just sit up and sleep. It's amazing.

Lyndell Lewis

A military coup needs a sacrifice and courage that you can't find in an army without morale.

Jalal Talabani

There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifery.

Bernard Mandeville

The house has been used as a command-and-control facility, and therefore it became a part of the military machine.

Doug Henderson

Military families on or near base are a captive audience for everyone from used car salesmen to payday lenders.

Mary Shapiro

We now possess overwhelming evidence that political and military leaders endorsed interrogation methods that violate both domestic and international law.

Jameel Jaffer

Usually you can point the finger at the consumers of intel ... the political and military leaders.

Matthew Aid

Many of our nation's great leaders began their careers at a service academy. I encourage anyone interested in a rewarding college experience or military career to apply as soon as possible.

Chris Cannon

Iraq was at core a war of choice, and extraordinarily expensive by every measure - human life, impact on our military, dollars, diplomatically.

Richard Haass

He was Mr. Red, White and Blue, ... You couldn't think of patriotism and the military without thinking of Bill Horan.

James Watkins

Some will be there and some will be here. We have civilian and military airplanes from way back to the present.

Art Aviles

There's a lot of military programs that help families. But there's a lot of stuff (that wouldn't be covered) by the military.

Tom Brass

Every military commander who has seen this says that it helps him do his job better.

Monica Shephard

Iranian levers of influence include a broad network of informants, military and logistical support of armed groups, and social welfare campaigns.

Nawaf Obaid

Nikolai Spassky

There is no better advertisement for our arms and military hardware than a real demonstration of their capabilities in the course of practical exercises.

Sergei Ivanov

This was a legitimate military operation which took place in the framework of the Caucasus front.

Akhmed Zakayev

This is a military and executive scandal.

Mark Rosenbaum

He was present at every meeting where political and military actions were decided upon that resulted in deportations, illegal arrests, ethnic cleansing and the deaths of thousands of Bosnians.

Paul Risley

It is shocking and it does raise a lot of questions about how those in military service are dealt with.

Roy Allison

Military is named after the Old Fort Kearney Military Road.

Clark Boschult

We'll probably be fairly small. The U.S. military will be the backbone of what will allow us to knock you out. Right now, the military has the most interesting things going on.

Dana Gleason

It doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like it's full speed ahead in putting the elderly and the infirm in the military brigs around the country.

Louis Font

This is very serious, whether they were military or not, because someone should have detected them.

Jorge Chabat

Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence.

Jerry Cantrell

We are making adjustments in the first quarter of this year because of changes in our military support business. These changes have forced us to make this necessary decision to ensure our competitiveness.

Derek Mcluckey

The American Army has supplied, assigned a very capable man to me, to help me, bring me to military justice. I don't think I need no civilians. All I want to do is clear myself with the American Army.

Robert Jenkins

The United States is worried about China's military build-up and energy diplomacy.

Shi Yinhong

We thought the Horn (of Africa) was beginning to heal... but the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea has imported into the region sophisticated military hardware.

Bonaya Godana

The military also suggested that they would do a survey of the embassy, embassy security, I guess.

Patrick Kennedy

Will the military maintain its form or will it implode? It could very well disintegrate and if it goes, we've got a very serious problem. The next few days are critical.

Martin Navias

It is unquestionable that Sony's code has gotten into military and government networks, and not necessarily just U.S. military and government networks.

Dan Kaminsky

The National Guard or any service is there for that reason. It's a job and it's what the military requires.

Gwen Allen

This expulsion is not justified. None of the military attaches at the US embassy in Caracas was or is involved in inappropriate activities.

Julie Reside

We will fight back only when there are military operations.

Gregorio Rosal

The military knows the facts of life. It doesn't have a tradition of overthrowing governments, it doesn't have credibility and we now have a democratic government.

Dewi Fortuna Anwar

The play was written before 9/11 and July 7 and Abu Ghraib and a lot of things that have informed how we feel about the military, but I think it is going to resonate.

Even though the U.S. military presence will be ending March 31, U.S. support will never cease and will never dwindle.

Rear Admiral Michael Lefever

Nelson is a great part of English folklore history, perhaps the best known of Britain's military heroes.

David Quarmby

Similar to the way military bands play for the commander in chief, Mr. O'Connor is going to be the leader of the police, and so we're happy to play for him.

Mike Scott

We see very few young veterans off active duty. Any county that has a large military installation would look at this as a much bigger deal.

Randy Mayer

Military leaders aren't made. They are born, ... To be a good leader, you have to have something in your character to cause people to follow you.

Jimmy Johnson

We think that in the economy, the joint use of these military facilities will lead to an increase in the confidence in our country on behalf of investors and improve the general investment climate in our country.

Dimitar Tsanchev

He never wanted to do anything but military. But he always had a smile on his face. It just breaks my heart.

Karen Cooper

I'm glad to know he's had 23 years of military experience, ... No one understands a veteran better than a veteran.

Dr. Larry Roberts

If you believe the doctors, nothing is wholesome; if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent; if you believe the military, nothing is safe.

I hope a miracle can occur as the military makes its courageous rescue efforts.

Annette Lu

They collectively represent the first (military) unit to have a global impact on World War II at a time when the Allies were on their heels.

The commander has said there will be no military solution to release the hostages. I don't agree.

Their (military) image now is very positive for having sided with the MPR.

Ryaas Rasyid

The county would like to see that (military) proposal dropped.

Matt Ferguson

We don't have enough military personnel to protect our own.

Hollis Crawford

In these large events we have to have military support to make these things happen.

Walter Peacock

You're going to start to get more movement (among insurgents). You'll start to get more military engagements.

James Fergusson

Enemies are necessary for the wheels of the U.S. military machine to turn.

John Stockwell

All this isn't bothering me as far as what is going on. I adjust pretty well. I grew up a military kid and being all over the place.

Brian Young

We're just trying to educate kids on what they can expect if they decide to go into the military. We want to make them aware of what they're getting themselves into.

Jay Alexander

I think this will be the catalyst for the demise of Florida's military boot camps. These dungeons will cease to exist.

Cathy Corry

China-US military relations, an important part of overall relations, have seen an increase in exchanges.

Liang Guanglie

Any kind of a military act against Israel ... is condemned and not allowed.

Ahmed Qorei

If Bill Owens manages Nortel in a more military fashion and these other two people came from Cisco, which is creative and entrepreneurial, maybe there's a difference in approach.

Robert Callander

He is working on oak stands to display military things on. It will be a hands-on display and children will be encouraged to try on helmets and other things.

Linda Woods

We'd like to get a group started here. And we're looking for a few adults to help out. Former military would be great, but they don't have to be.

Bill Dalton

We've basically committed a mutiny. We've left DHH and we're working with the military.

Leon Tarnto

This is especially brutal to Jose after he spent more than three years in a military brig without charges.

Michael Caruso

Hopefully it will lead to more military wins (contracts).

Richard Sneider

This is not posturing. This is a very clear indication that Geneva is becoming very doubtful. The bottom line is that they are showing that they are strong and that they can take on the military.

Iqbal Athas

This is organized crime at its top level. This was planned and executed with military precision.

Adrian Leppard

Our military men and women face some of life's most difficult situations in service to our country. We appreciate their dedication and commitment, and we're glad we can help bring some fun and excitement to everyone at these five bases through the NBA experience.

Don Esmond

I have always had a particular antagonism for the military.

Donna Leon

It's not too cold, it's not too hot, so they (military officials) expected the insurgents would be active this season, and they have been.

Sarah Galashan

God is not in the business of using the military to bring His vengeance on individuals.

Antonio Jeremiah

The military campaign is perceived by most people to be unsuccessful, largely because the only stories we hear these days are about civilians getting killed.

Hugo Young

I feel college will help in the future by allowing me to get the first-line knowledge. Everyone should take some college courses. It can help you out in learning more about your job in the Navy and can help you with your future plans if you happen to leave the military.

David Hampton

Cindy Sheehan certainly doesn't speak for me, our military families or our men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Deborah Johns

Unless you're talking about a military base or a community whose National Guard unit has been deployed, there's not much impact on daily life.

David Segal

China's development in the field of manned spacecraft has no relation with any 'military threat'.

Hiroyuki Hosoda

It's ridiculous to call this bargaining for dollars. The political and military dimensions are far more important, the economic dimension comes after these.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

If, as is certainly possible, the situation devolves down to civil war or separatism, then no amount of military action can really deal with the problem.

Anthony H. Cordesman

This is the kind of investment that is reflective of the strategic commitment and intention to continue a military presence in Iraq .

Thomas Donnelly

The targets included terrorist training camps, military airfields, and air defenses.

Geoffrey Hoon

Sir, I nearly beat a military intelligence detainee to death with military intelligence there. We treated each military detainee specifically on how the handler wanted.

William Parsons

If norms change, the military has to adapt to the changes or get left behind.

David Segal

There is a need for the manufacturing that we do here to be close by. The military work that we do will probably never be outsourced to any other country, except maybe Mexico.

Gil Perry

We are in bad shape here, we really are. Meet these people's demands. We are not military: we came here to work.

Patrick Landry

We don't believe it bashes the military. It really does try to be balanced.

Briggs Gamblin

I am very proud we had them there. I'm very proud of any military we'd have there.

Nancy Hunter

The Chinese military has enormous stress about U.S. space plans at large. There is a debate about what they should do.

Theresa Hitchens

The fear is that the military is going to try to replace, consciously or unconsciously, African-Americans with Hispanics.

David Segal

We need leadership up there that respects the military as they expect the military to respect them.

John Batiste

The thing about the Paralympics is, they're not only incredible athletes, but all of them have been through some sort of tragedy, whether it's from an accident, an illness or even a military injury.

Bob Condron

The military must be very careful in not violating an individual's First Amendment rights.

Joe Curtin

None of the military attaches at the U.S. embassy in Caracas was or is involved in inappropriate activities.

Julie Reside

This is not only a military catastrophe but a catastrophe for the whole nation.

Rafael Hernandez

Comply with all of your commitments to the United Nations or face military strikes.

John King

You see far fewer accidents and accidental shootings of civilians with the private security than you do with the regular military.

Doug Brooks

We want to set this up properly because we are dealing with a military hierarchy and I might set it up wrongly.

Michael Defensor

I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States.

Barbara Lee

I feel he should be honored as a hero. He was going to make a career out of the military. He wouldn't even tell us the danger he was in.

Carolyn Howard

We look forward to the deployment of test communications units for the military in early 2007 and we've had many offers for more consumer level electronics.

Philip Zelikow

Bill Tierney

We raised a warrior. We raised a good military man.

Henry White

The hardest part is getting used to the military lifestyle and being told what to do. For us, basic training will be the most difficult part.

Bill Ford

He is the man to go to. He changed the way the military was portrayed in films and made it more accurate.

John Dahl

When I was manning these gates with the military, we had between 20 to 25 officers. But the normal operation for this management is 10 to 14.

Stacy Adams

As a spy, under the laws of war, and his house being designated a military target, we are perfectly under international law in our right to do this.

Richard Mclaren

Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.

Allan Massie

Thanks for your military career, Stan. We appreciate it.

Jim Simmons

All of these are necessary right now. Otherwise, much of the efforts of the military will be shut down.

Ike Skelton

[My job is] to give the president and secretary of defense military advice before they know they need it.

Gen John W. Vessey, Jr.

I think all Australians would have expected that in the case of an injured or deceased service man or woman that at all times it be dealt with by the Australian military.

Robert Mcclelland

We finalized negotiations regarding the U.S. military facilities on the Black Sea coast and maybe in other areas of Romania.

Traian Basescu

The Iranians are playing a 'catch me if you can' game. They believe that the Americans won't risk using a military option.

Fyodor Lukyanov

Frederick said this is what MI (military intelligence) wanted him to do.

Charles Graner

For the military, it can offer much better facial recognition. Instead of looking at a two-dimensional photo, you're looking at an entire head.

James Fischbach

For some places, like the villages, they said they were too far away. For Aldi, they said military operations were taking place.

Jose Diaz

In fact, that vehicle, and our soldiers are the envy of almost every other contingent in Afghanistan or around the Western military forces here.

Rick Hillier
