My favorite picture is a picture of American soldiers surrounding a guy in a foxhole, Iraqi soldier, and the American guy says, "We're not going to harm you. We're American soldiers." ~ George H. W. Bush
American Soldier quotes by George H. W. Bush
At some point my friends and I began to ask, how can a country that produced hippies and such cool people also fight a war and kill people and act cruelly? You would see American GMC trucks go by and soldiers reaching down to whack a girl riding a bicycle. They would yank at her hat and she would get thrown and she would die. You would see Americans do this and feel like they can do anything in our country. But then you'd take an English class with an American soldier from Ohio who seemed just as nice as anyone, yet he was a soldier too. ~ Nguyen Qui Duc
American Soldier quotes by Nguyen Qui Duc
Behind every American soldier, dozens of their countrymen tonight sleep soundly - and hundreds more in their shadow abroad will wake up alive and safe. ~ Victor Davis Hanson
American Soldier quotes by Victor Davis Hanson
Every American soldier wants as much public support as he can possibly have. That's the soldiers on duty in Iraq, and that's me, as well. We fight better knowing that our people back home support us, back us, and understand what we're doing. It's hugely important. ~ John Abizaid
American Soldier quotes by John Abizaid
Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any Canadian or Indian in his person or property, I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment, as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it shall not be disproportioned to its guilt, at such a time and in such a cause. ~ George Washington
American Soldier quotes by George Washington
An American soldier, Saddam in his sights, has a picture of a naked, buxom woman on his dashboard, an obvious affront to Muslim sensibilities. ~ Margo Kingston
American Soldier quotes by Margo Kingston
Looking up, Missouri saw a formation of low-flying P-47's on the horizon, heading up the coast from Naples...Sergeant Missouri laughed aloud. "They're sending us the Air Force, Chico, and we made it with a donkey," he said. ~ Maureen Daly
American Soldier quotes by Maureen Daly
This is so like the way the Americans deliberately erroneously refer to Afghans and Iraqis as terrorists when they fight back killing American soldiers to protect their young from the illegal American invasion. ~ Bob Barker
American Soldier quotes by Bob Barker
I've always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating. ~ Anthony Hopkins
American Soldier quotes by Anthony Hopkins
That was not the biggest battle that ever was, but for me it always typified one thing; the dash, the ingenuity, the readiness at the first opportunity that characterizes the American soldier. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
American Soldier quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Murph took his shot and dropped the bastard right out of the tree. then he stood. "I'm an American soldier, you son of a bitch. ~ Dana Marton
American Soldier quotes by Dana Marton
At Rest An American Soldier And Defender of the Constitution. ~ Jefferson Davis
American Soldier quotes by Jefferson Davis
No one told these American soldiers they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with US patents. ~ Smedley Butler
American Soldier quotes by Smedley Butler
Some mules just seem to be born with the hee-haw habit. Back home we call those fellows 'Missouri Nightingales'. ~ Maureen Daly
American Soldier quotes by Maureen Daly
The "Warrior Ethos" emphasizes placing the mission first, not accepting defeat, and being disciplined physically and mentally. Why? Because an American Soldier is a "guardian of freedom and the American way of life. ~ Dan Smee
American Soldier quotes by Dan Smee
The motivation I possessed to serve my country is what got me out of the small town of Lyons, Texas where I grew up, and into the world of service, love of country, helping others, and being an American soldier." (Page 90). ~ Kenneth A. Bracewell
American Soldier quotes by Kenneth A. Bracewell
Sergeant Missouri crouched close to the ground, pulling up his collar against the bitter, gusting winds. Show me, he thought tiredly, I'm from Missouri. ~ Maureen Daly
American Soldier quotes by Maureen Daly
American soldiers had to guard prisoners on the inside while receiving mortar and weapons fire from the outside. Guantanamo is distant from any battlefield, making it far more secure. ~ John Yoo
American Soldier quotes by John Yoo
It is far better for anyone to kill a single American soldier than to squander his efforts on other activities. ~ Osama Bin Laden
American Soldier quotes by Osama Bin Laden
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain. They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them. ~ Marlene Dietrich
American Soldier quotes by Marlene Dietrich
For decades, our dependence on OPEC oil has dictated our national security decisions and tied us up in the Middle East at an incredible price. We've spent more than $5 trillion and thousands of American soldiers have died securing Middle East oil. ~ T. Boone Pickens
American Soldier quotes by T. Boone Pickens
I have found over the years that American soldiers and airmen thrive on competition. ~ William H. Tunner
American Soldier quotes by William H. Tunner
The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery. ~ Ernie Pyle
American Soldier quotes by Ernie Pyle
It doesn t require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed it won t be U.S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the Senate. ~ George McGovern
American Soldier quotes by George McGovern
In the summer of 1776, the average British soldier was 28 years old with seven years experience in the Army. The average American soldier was 20 and had known military life for only six months. ~ Joseph J. Ellis
American Soldier quotes by Joseph J. Ellis
The American soldier demonstrated that, properly equipped, trained and led, he has no superior among all the armies of the world. ~ Lucian
American Soldier quotes by Lucian
No American soldier should be allowed to set foot on Iranian soil, regardless of the criticism we have of the Iranian government. ~ Shirin Ebadi
American Soldier quotes by Shirin Ebadi
In the middle of the cavernous cargo hold was a simple, aluminum coffin with a small American flag draped over it. We were bringing another American soldier, just killed, home to his family and final resting place. The starkness of his coffin in the center of the hold, the silence except for the din of the engines, was a real time cold reminder of the consequences of decisions for which we Senators share responsibility. ~ John F. Kerry
American Soldier quotes by John F. Kerry
...[A]s you read opinions and history in school about 2004... I want you to know... that going to this war was right. No matter what you hear 20 years from now by elite media and historians, things get distorted... Just like Vietnam, I fear OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) will be abused in the same way. Just as you hear more about American soldiers in Vietnam raping women and children and shooting unarmed men, today the media is focused about this detainee debacle for two weeks solid, in contrast to American Soldiers being dragged in the streets and dismembered, which was covered for less than 72 hours. I am part of the Special Operations Forces elite... We are harder than anyone at these detention centers and let me tell you, we treat these guys with the utmost professionalism. We do not hit them, we don't humiliate them or cause them any bodily harm for the purpose of entertainment. As a Christian, one assumes great compassion... This is WAR and treated very seriously. People are being killed and it is our job to get information... The humanity in me wants me to warm them, tell them their family is okay, feed them, and even embrace them in a loving way... Most, even in my stature, feel the same way. This is the American Soldier. ~ Eric Blehm
American Soldier quotes by Eric Blehm
We're not trying to harass the average American. We need to convert this now to a risk-based system, with TSA concentrating and focusing on intelligence, on security, setting up again the parameters of which we do this. ~ John Mica
American Soldier quotes by John Mica
I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have. ~ Hayley Atwell
American Soldier quotes by Hayley Atwell
As a woman of color who is interested in these issues of democracy and who wants to enact social change, Pilaf sees the Internet as a tool that perpetuates the corporate, white, middle-class hegemony of American consumer culture rather than a tool for revolution. Instead of viewing the Internet as a new outlet for activism and that opens up a world of communication, Pilaf sees the online communication and activism as an escape valve, a way to remove oneself from interactions with people. Although I disagree with her on this point, I'm very much aware that my ability to see the Internet as revolutionary comes from a place of privilege, in which I can think of the Internet as a sexual, political, and intellectual arena because I'm in a place (geographically and economically) where these are the very things that are my primary focus and concern. Although some of Pilaf's criticisms overlap with those technophobes who view the Internet as the devil's playground, her observations come from a very real, intense place of political and personal discomfort with forging ahead of digital culture and the casualties this 'progress' may leave. ~ Audacia Ray
American Soldier quotes by Audacia Ray
If we apply the term revolution to what happened in North America between 1776 and 1829, it has a special meaning. Normally, the word describes the process by which man transforms himself from one kind of man, living in one kind of society, with one way of looking at the world, into another kind of man, another society, another conception of life ... The American case is different: it is not a question of the Old Man transforming himself into the New, but of the New Man becoming alive to the fact that he is new, that he has been transformed already without his having realized it. ~ W. H. Auden
American Soldier quotes by W. H. Auden
Do you know the strangest thing about being a soldier? It is that you are repeatedly ordered to commit suicide. and you obey. ~ Louis De Bernieres
American Soldier quotes by Louis De Bernieres
What every American should know is that we have more people in jail today than any other country on Earth, more than China. We have some 2.2 million people in jail. What that means is that a lot of lives are being destroyed. ~ Bernie Sanders
American Soldier quotes by Bernie Sanders
The Americans of the age were not an irreligious people; and the fact that they were Christian was very important, for the marks of Christianity lay all across the Constitution. ~ Theodore H. White
American Soldier quotes by Theodore H. White
I'm convinced that a few people are going to stand up and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands. ~ Rebecca McNutt
American Soldier quotes by Rebecca McNutt
People have asked me why are Australians and Brits so good at American accents, and it's quite simple. We grew up listening to the American sound on our TV. That's why American actors have a hard time with foreign accents. ~ Dominic Purcell
American Soldier quotes by Dominic Purcell
I looked. George Shearing. And as always he leaned his blind head on his pale hand, all ears opened like the ears of an elephant, listening to the American sounds and mastering them for his own English summer's-night use. Then they urged him to get up and play. He did. He played innumerable choruses with amazing chords that mounted higher and higher till the sweat splashed all over the piano and everybody listened in awe and fright. They led him off the stand after an hour. He went back to his dark corner, old God Shearing, and the boys said, 'There ain't nothin left after that. ~ Jack Kerouac
American Soldier quotes by Jack Kerouac
Being an American is something I wanted to be for a very long time, probably since I saw the moon landing when I was a child. ~ Craig Ferguson
American Soldier quotes by Craig Ferguson
Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
American Soldier quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
A lot of American guys wear really wide legged jeans and square shoes. Then they come to Sweden and think my friends are gay because they're wearing 'really tight jeans'. It's called 'fitted!' ~ Caroline Winberg
American Soldier quotes by Caroline Winberg
Mean Streets dealt with the American Dream, according to which everybody thinks they can get rich quick, and if they can't do it by legal means then they'll do it by illegal ones. ~ Martin Scorsese
American Soldier quotes by Martin Scorsese
Not all black women have silently acquiesced in sexism and misogyny within the African-American community. Indeed, many writers, activists, and other women have voiced their opposition and paid the price: they have been ostracized and branded as either man- haters or pawns of white feminists, two of the more predictable modes of disciplining and discrediting black feminists. ~ Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
American Soldier quotes by Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
We still dislike hypocrites. It's a very American characteristic. We still like people who have ideas and who are willing to stand up for what they believe in. We're very forgiving of failures and very willing to give people a second and third chance if they mean to do better and are sorry for what they've done. ~ David McCullough
American Soldier quotes by David McCullough
The second term of the Bush administration and first five years of the Obama presidency have been devoted to codifying and institutionalizing the vast and unchecked powers that are typically vested in leaders in the name of war. Those powers of secrecy, indefinite detention, mass surveillance, and due-process-free assassination are not going anywhere. They are now permanent fixtures not only in the US political system but, worse, in American political culture. ~ Glenn Greenwald
American Soldier quotes by Glenn Greenwald
The position of the Americans is quite exceptional, and it may be believed that no democratic people will ever be placed in a similar one. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
American Soldier quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
It has been said that on screen I personified the American woman. ~ Joan Crawford
American Soldier quotes by Joan Crawford
The fact is, race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident, real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counter productive. I grew up in a family that believed that you might not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your reaction to them. There was no room for being a victim or depending on the white man to take care of you. ~ Condoleezza Rice
American Soldier quotes by Condoleezza Rice
If you look at our records, I stood up to corporate America time and time again. I went to Mexico. I saw the lives of people who were working in American factories and making $0.25 an hour. ~ Bernie Sanders
American Soldier quotes by Bernie Sanders
Why should the brave Spanish soldiers brag? The sunne never sets in the Spanish dominions, but ever shineth on one part or other we have conquered for our king. ~ John Smith
American Soldier quotes by John Smith
American Suiteheart I must confess Im in love with my own sins ~ Patrick Stump
American Soldier quotes by Patrick Stump
And have your white friend say how funny it is, that American pollsters ask white and black people if racism is over. White people in general say it is over and black people in general say it is not. Funny indeed. More suggestions for what you should have your white friend say? Please post away. And here's to all the white friends who get it. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
American Soldier quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Fully 57 percent of American college students are women. Life insurance companies sell more policies to women than to men. As women continue to draw on experience and education, they're accelerating their numbers in upper management, too. ~ Suzanne Fields
American Soldier quotes by Suzanne Fields
When I was starting out, science fiction was a little genre over there, which only a few people read. But now
where are you going to put, for example, Salman Rushdie? Or any of the South American writers? Most people get by calling them magical realists. ~ Doris Lessing
American Soldier quotes by Doris Lessing
My heritage is something that I have always been aware of, however, some would say that there is a disproportionately low number of Asians as professional athletes. I take pride in trying my best to be a role model to show young Asian American boys and girls that they are only limited by the size of their dreams. ~ Nathan Adrian
American Soldier quotes by Nathan Adrian
Modern Democrats aren't the first political party to abuse power - far from it. Obama isn'€t the first president to abuse executive power - not by a longshot. But he has to be the first president in American history to overtly and consistently argue that he's empowered to legislate if Congress doesn'€t pass the laws he favors. It's an argument that's been mainstreamed by partisans and cheered on by those in media desperate to find a morsel of triumph in this presidency. ~ David Harsanyi
American Soldier quotes by David Harsanyi
Corliss wondered what happens to a book that sits unread on a library shelf for thirty years. Can a book rightfully be called a book if it never gets read?...

'How many books never get checked out," Corliss asked the librarian.

'Most of them,' she said.

Corliss never once considered the fate of library books. She loved books. How could she not worry about the unread? She felt like a disorganized scholar, an abusive mother, and a cowardly soldier.

'Are you serious?' Corliss asked. 'What are we talking about here? If you were guessing, what is the percentage of books in this library that never get checked out?'

'We're talking sixty percent of them. Seriously. Maybe seventy percent. And I'm being optimistic. It's probably more like eighty or ninety percent. This isn't a library, it's an orphanage.'

The librarian talked in a reverential whisper. Corliss knew she'd misjudged this passionate woman. Maybe she dressed poorly, but she was probably great in bed, certainly believed in God and goodness, and kept an illicit collection of overdue library books on her shelves. ~ Sherman Alexie
American Soldier quotes by Sherman Alexie
Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government
take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian. ~ Henry Ford
American Soldier quotes by Henry Ford
We live in a world in which it's harder to talk about the American in the singular, so we're a multi. We have several different people who represent the United States, so in that sense whiteness, the salience, the importance of whiteness is kind of tamping down some. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
American Soldier quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
The Great Depression of the 1930s saw more American unmarried women working from nine to five, mostly in repetitive, boring, subordinate, dead-end jobs. But the number of working women doubled between 1870 and 1940. During World War II it doubled once again. ~ Helen Fisher
American Soldier quotes by Helen Fisher
American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook. ~ Hedy Lamarr
American Soldier quotes by Hedy Lamarr
What is my definition of jazz? 'Safe sex of the highest order. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
American Soldier quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Patriotism is not necessarily defined as blind devotion to a president's particular agenda - and that to dispute a presidential policy is not necessarily anti-American. ~ John Irving
American Soldier quotes by John Irving
A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers, There was a lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman's tears; But a comrade stood beside him, while his lifeblood ebbed away. ~ Caroline Norton
