Combat Quotes - Page 10

• Actual combat experience is the only teacher. You never come out of a skirmish without having picked up a couple of new tricks; without having learned more about your enemy...Total involvement with the war was the only thing that kept me alive and pushing.

  Audie Murphy

• The truth is that no one who hasn't actually experienced the senseless chaos and violence of combat can possibly understand it, but those who have and who try to explain it to the rest of us are offering us a precious gift: a part of their soul that's been scorched in the flames of Hell. It's a little like trying to describe music to the deaf or color to the blind ... to make the irrational somewhat sensible, which is always confusing and frustrating, and ultimately futile.

  Khaled Hosseini

• Lo que despertó mi interés por los deportes de combate en general fue mi hermano mayor. Supongo que se supone que los hermanos mayores se meten con sus hermanos pequeños, pero el mío lo llevó a otro nivel. Me rompió la clavícula, me rompió una costilla y me dejó sin dientes.

• Forget that New Orleans is actually a little like the Combat Zone with French cooking, it still happens to be part of the great state of Louisiana where people play the political game the same way it's played in Lebanon. The place is one layer after another of tribes, factions and at least a million laughs.

• Siendo realistas, existe un peligro, por supuesto, cuando entras en la sala de estar de alguien como el mismo tipo cada semana. Pero no le temo porque, quiero decir, no hay nada que pueda hacer al respecto. Puedo tratar de combatirlo a través del trabajo, y tal vez asegurarme de no hacer Sheldon 2.0 en otros proyectos. Pero me resulta muy difícil encontrar efectos secundarios negativos en esta experiencia.

• Lo que se necesita es ir más allá de la tradición, nada menos que un movimiento de reforma para introducir los conceptos básicos del islam en la era moderna, una reforma musulmana para combatir no sólo a los ideólogos yihadistas, sino también los polvorientos y asfixiantes seminarios de los tradicionalistas, abriendo de par en par las ventanas para que entre el aire fresco que tanto se necesita..... Ya es hora, para empezar, de que los musulmanes sean capaces de estudiar la revelación de su religión como un acontecimiento dentro de la historia, no sobrenaturalmente por encima de ella.... La amplitud de miras está relacionada con la tolerancia; la amplitud de miras es hermana de la paz.

• What I like to do is to give my real name in Starbucks but be really hostile each time, as if they're asking me something that I've never heard in my life. I give them a really dirty look, "Really? It's Natasha. Okay?" Like I've never been to Starbucks before. Each time. I enter the premises looking for combat.

• I'm just challenging white supremacy at its intellectual heart every day. It's a pedagogy that I deploy against some of the most vicious resistance to blackness that whiteness is able to throw up. I engage in a lot of intellectual combat with supremacists and with the predicate of white supremacy and white indifference to black identity, and brown and red and yellow identity too, for that matter.

• When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it. But a lot of people can't handle it. And they see horror stories. They see events that you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it.

• Las guerras siempre evolucionan con el tiempo, ¿no es así? Irak/Afganistán es diferente de Vietnam, y Vietnam era diferente de Corea, y Corea era diferente de la Primera Guerra Mundial, y así sucesivamente. Algunas cosas siguen siendo las mismas, por supuesto -un bando lucha contra otro por la ideología o por una parcela de terreno-, pero hay algunos aspectos de la vida de combate que difieren radicalmente de sus predecesores.
