“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. the supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
Noah Webster
“He doesn't chase the buck like most people. His passion is the Army and helping people. When he retires from the Army, he wants to teach high school math and coach baseball.”
Matt Webster
“Why can't they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "Who'd you call a faggot?"”
Jon Stewart
“People say "Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world". Yeah, maybe, but you know what, after the first 3 largest armies, there's a REAL big fucking drop-off. The Hare Krishnas are the 5th largest army in the world, and they've already got all our airports.”
Bill Hicks
“There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.”
John Ashbery
“The Salvation Army in Louisville houses 200 people a night and feeds 400 people every single day. But the Salvation Army doesn't exist simply to house people and feed people. We exist to heal people. And the culinary training program was born of that fundamental truth.”
Theodore Dues
“In any place in the world, when the country is facing difficulties, beside the army, the people depended on the militias and the partisan groups.”
