World War 2 Speeches (much better than Lorem Ipsum)
"Here we will stand and fight; there will be no further withdrawal. I have ordered that all plans and instructions dealing with further withdrawal are to be burned, and at once. We will stand and fight here. If we can`t stay here alive, then let us stay here dead."
Bernard L. Montgomery
"An army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, and fights as a team. This individual hero stuff is bullshit. The bilious bastards who write that stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don`t know any more about real battle than they do about fucking. And we have the best team—we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. Why, by God, I actually pity these poor bastards we`re going up against.
All the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters. Every single man in the army plays a vital role. So don`t ever let up. Don`t ever think that your job is unimportant. What if every truck driver decided that he didn`t like the whine of the shells and turned yellow and jumped headlong into a ditch? That cowardly bastard could say to himself, `Hell, they won`t miss me, just one man in thousands.` What if every man said that? Where in the hell would we be then? No, thank God, Americans don`t say that. Every man does his job. Every man is important. The ordnance men are needed to supply the guns, the quartermaster is needed to bring up the food and clothes for us because where we are going there isn`t a hell of a lot to steal. Every last damn man in the mess hall, even the one who boils the water to keep us from getting the GI shits, has a job to do."
George S. Patton
