guys lead mind racket since tough
I don't mind being called tough since I find in this racket it's the tough guys who lead the survivors.
fighting bad-ass soldier
If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.
military enemy use
If you are going to use military force, then you ought to use overwhelming military force. Use too much and deliberately use too much; you'll save lives, not only your own, but the enemy's too.
military air looks
If we maintain our faith in God, love of freedom, and superior global air power, the future looks good.
fighting people enough
You've got to kill people, and when you've killed enough they stop fighting.
time unfortunate incompetent
I don't have time to distinguish between the unfortunate and the incompetent.
military guy mind
I don't mind being called tough, since I find in this racket it's the tough guys who lead the survivors.
horny age would-be
My solution to the problem would be to tell the North Vietnamese Communists frankly that they've got to drawn in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the stone age.
military age vietnam
We're going to bomb them back into the stone Age.
russia mind bombs
Native annalists may look sadly back from the future on that period when we had the atomic bomb and the Russians didn't. Or when the Russians had aquired (through connivance and treachery of Westerns with warped minds) the atomic bomb - and yet still didn't have any stockpile of the weapons. That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it.
attitude war mean
I'd like to see a more aggressive attitude on the part of the United States. That doesn't mean launching an immediate preventive war...
military war thinking
I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.
peace war fighting
I don't want to hear of any of you men getting into any fights with the British. But if you do, you'd better not get whipped.
american-soldier elbows might skinned
That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it.
