"-- look, no one (well, okay, hardly anyone) joins the military expecting to die, but the risk is always there, and everyone knows it. A suicidal soldier who wants to die for his country is more a risk than an asset; but a soldier who is not willing to take the risk of death to accomplish the mission isn't much use either."

"Your job is not to die for your country, but to make the other guy die for his."
