american-soldier bad chinese grows potential reason rule schools situation worse
That's the reason some schools of thinking don't rule out a destruction of the Chinese military potential before the situation grows worse than it is today. It's bad enough now.
years chinese situation
Sometime in the future - 25, 50, 75 years hence - what will the situation be like then? By that time the Chinese will have the capability of delivery too.
age bomb
We should bomb Vietnam back into the stone age.
aspects bother good immoral moral thinks war
Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.
american-soldier elbows might skinned
That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it.
war korea years
We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, someway or another, and some in South Korea too.... Over a period of three years or so, we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population of Korea as direct casualties of war, or from starvation and exposure?
war criminals killing
Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.
peace war fighting
I don't want to hear of any of you men getting into any fights with the British. But if you do, you'd better not get whipped.
attitude war mean
I'd like to see a more aggressive attitude on the part of the United States. That doesn't mean launching an immediate preventive war...
strong war thinking
You [President Kennedy] have made some pretty strong statements about their being defensive and that we would take action against offensive weapons. I think that a blockade and political talk would be considered by a lot of our friends and neutrals as being a pretty weak response to this [the Cuban missile crisis]. And I'm sure a lot of our own citizens would feel that way too. In other words, you're in a pretty bad fix at the present time.
military war thinking
I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.
war japan want
We're at war with Japan. We were attacked by Japan. Do you want to kill Japanese, or would you rather have Americans killed?
military age vietnam
We're going to bomb them back into the stone Age.
war shooting today
Today, shooting wars are won or lost before they start. If they are fought at all, they would be fought principally to confirm which side had won at the outset.
