"Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion." ― Norman Schwarzkopf Topic(s): War More From Norman Schwarzkopf "A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers." "Well, unfortunately, I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper, but I also have, you know, have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else, this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion." "Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy." More In War "With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you’re gonna get out of it. It’s like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you’re acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling."― John Cusack "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election."― Otto von Bismarck "World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism."― Stephen Ambrose
