• La guerra no termina cuando vuelves a casa. Perdura en el recuerdo de tus compañeros soldados, marineros, aviadores e infantes de marina que dieron su vida. Perdura en la herida que tarda en cicatrizar, la discapacidad que no desaparece, el sueño que te despierta por la noche o la rigidez en la columna vertebral cuando un coche petardea por la calle.

  Barack Obama

• I am still confused as to why they chose to lie and tried to make me a legend when the real heroics of my fellow soldiers that day were, in fact, legendary. People like Lori Piestewa and First Sergeant Dowdy who picked up fellow soldiers in harm's way. Or people like Patrick Miller and Sergeant Donald Walters who actually fought until the very end. The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes and they don't need to be told elaborate tales.

• I feel uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don't want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that's fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

• Nos deleitábamos con el amor en todas sus formas, solemne y alegre, romántico y realista, a veces tan dramático como una tormenta, a veces tan cómodo y poco enfático como ponerse unas zapatillas. Era mi alumna y mi maestra, mi súbdita y mi soberana, mi fiel camarada, amiga, compañera de barco, colega soldado. Mi amante, pero al mismo tiempo todo lo que cualquier hombre amigo ha sido para mí.

• A mi hijo no le entusiasma la idea de volver a Irak, pero seguro que prefiere hacerlo a sacrificar todo lo que él y sus compañeros han conseguido marchándose demasiado pronto e invitando al caos.

• Youths of the Pellaians and of the Macedonians and of the Hellenic Amphictiony and of the Lakedaimonians and of the Corinthians... and of all the Hellenic peoples, join your fellow-soldiers and entrust yourselves to me, so that we can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage, for as Greeks we should not be slaves to barbarians.

• I wish, peevishly, that he didn't know anything about how soldiers sleep, how they protect their fellow soldiers. It would be nicer if I could share the cloaks warmth with him, if we could lie with our faces together, whispering into the night.

• Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, le conté, Hitler había sido corredor, repartiendo mensajes entre las trincheras alemanas, y le repugnaba ver a sus compañeros visitando burdeles franceses. Para mantener puras las líneas de sangre aria y evitar la propagación de enfermedades venéreas, encargó una muñeca hinchable que las tropas nazis pudieran llevar a la batalla. El propio Hitler diseñó muñecas rubias y con grandes pechos. El bombardeo aliado de Dresde destruyó la fábrica antes de que las muñecas pudieran distribuirse a gran escala.

• I believe that the purpose for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.

• Nidal Hasan communicated with Anwar al-Awlaki, a known radical cleric, asked about waging jihad against his fellow soldiers. The problem is because of political correctness, the [Barack] Obama administration, like a lot of folks here, want to search everyone's cell phones and e-mails and not focus on the bad guys. And political correctness is killing people.
