Memorable war quotes

Thoughts passed on to me by someone older and wiser:

"One negotiates with his enemy with a knee to chest, and knife to throat.  I was there during all of the 11 days of the bombing of Hanoi during Linebacker II.  We let them off the hook!" 

"During the last day(s) of Desert Storm when our enemy was fleeing up the 'Road of Death' back to Baghdad, we quit before destroying them completely and have spent the last 12+ years paying for that decision."

John M.

Listen to an expert's opinion of American transience..."What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi.  You had us on the ropes.  If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender!  It was the same at the battles of TET.  You defeated us!  We knew it, and we thought you knew it.  But we were elated to notice your media were definitely helping us (underlining: jd). They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields.  We were ready to surrender.  You had won!"

General Giap, North Vietnam (memoirs)

My personal favorite...

"Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life.
Fear far more the media. They will destroy your honor."

(Probably a misquoted politician or general/flag officer)

Sometimes I just like injecting a little humor into the mix...Thanks John for forwarding these quotes....Thank You for your service to your country!
