Unprovoked attacks on Israel’s borders, murdering Israeli soldiers, taking Israeli hostages and showering rockets targeting and killing Israeli civilians are not furthering any legitimate goal. – Alcee Hastings
For security you need more soldiers, you need more policemen, you need more vehicles, you need more planes, you need more guns, you need more communications. – Alvaro Uribe
As a reporter, I embedded for modest stints with American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I’m asked about those experiences, I always say – and mean – that we civilians don’t deserve the soldiers we have. – Alex Berenson
When I first played New York, it was with James Brown at the Apollo, and I was playing in a band under the name The Valentinos. I remember Sam Cooke saying, ‘I want you to go in there with James Brown. I couldn’t be as hard on you as James Brown would be.’ But we came out marching like soldiers. – Bobby Womack
If we say the Geneva Convention is obsolete, then what do others who have our soldiers say? – Chuck Schumer

I have a novel that I can write. It’s about three soldiers from Somalia.

Blair… is accusing us of executing British soldiers. We want to tell him that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured. – Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
