Men, This Stuff That Some Sources Sling Around About America Wanting Out Of This War, Not Wanting To Fight, Is A Crock Of Bullshit. Americans Love To Fight, Traditionally. All Real Americans Love The Sting And Clash Of Battle. You Are Here Today For Three Reasons. First, Because You Are Here To Defend Your Homes And Your Loved Ones. Second, You Are Here For Your Own Self Respect, Because You Would Not Want To Be Anywhere Else. Third, You Are Here Because You Are Real Men And All Real Men Like To Fight.

It May Not Sound Nice To Some Bunch Of Little Old Ladies At An Afternoon Tea Party, But It Helps My Soldiers To Remember. You Can't Run An Army Without Profanity; And It Has To Be Eloquent Profanity.

From Time To Time There Will Be Some Complaints That We Are Pushing Our People Too Hard. I Don't Give A Good Goddamn About Such Complaints.

The More Germans We Kill, The Fewer Of Our Men Will Be Killed. Pushing Means Fewer Casualties. I Want You All To Remember That.

The Fixed Determination To Have Acquired The Warrior Soul, To Either Conquer Or Perish With Honor, Is The Secret Of Victory.
