Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “I’m not a military man, Captain. War holds no romance for me. The side effects are repulsive.”
    —Richard Bluel, and Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)

    “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 transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will.

    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
