"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." "First of all, Saddam did not win the war, even though he says he did, I mean, you know, that’s a joke and everybody in the world knows it." "He is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general. Other than that he’s a great military man." More In War "The security of the United States, which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence, is not a Republican or a Democratic issue."― Saxby Chambliss "There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration."― Lewis Carroll "Only the dead have seen the end of war."― Plato
