Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.”
    —Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)
