In a 2005 interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was
asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have
harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America
His answer was classic Schwarzkopf. The General said, "I
believe that forgiving them is God's function. OUR job is to arrange the
meeting."

"War is an
ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of
moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much
worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is
more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no
chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than
himself." - John Stuart Mill

fighting for country and his rights, makes the most reliable soldier on
earth." -Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson |

"A real star
is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a
farm near Tikrit, Iraq. He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47
bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of
the decent people of the world. A real star is the U.S. soldier who was sent to
disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad. He approached it, and the bomb
went off and killed him. A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and
day, is the U.S. soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece
of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He
pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family
desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad. The stars who deserve
media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who
patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and
their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from
terrorists. We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of
our magazines. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but
stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near
the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die." -Ben Stein
