"The death rate among Marines in Iraq has been more than double that of the other services." ― Jim Lehrer Topic(s): Death More From Jim Lehrer "I’m not in the being-annoyed business." "We have increasingly fewer and fewer journalists who have any military experience and understand what life is like in the military and in combat." "Most of the gaffes I’ve made have not been funny – they’ve been stupid." More In Death "I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me."― Giuseppe Garibaldi "Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you’ve seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me."― Lionel Richie "Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness – perhaps unimaginative of me."― A. N. Wilson
