Re: What is your favorite quote/saying?
Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting and drinking. If you cheat, may it be a death; if you steal, may it be a heart; if you fight, may it be for your Brother; and if you drink, may it be with me.
Always go straight forward. If you meet the devil, cut him in half and go between the pieces. (Wm. Sturgis, clipper ship captain.)
"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." Peter F. Drucker
I disagree. You can be lucky and think "it works for me" for years. If you never run into that guy - you'll never know. We don't train to beat the adversary. We train to the point where the only adversary that could possibly beat us is ourselves. And then we have to watch for the lucky bastard. I don't want to be faster than hadji, I want to be faster than everybody, including tomorrow faster than I was today. I don't want to shoot better than some skell on the street, I want to shoot better than everybody, including myself yesterday.

"You do not stand alone brother. We are with you. All who ever held the line and fell alone, facing the enemy. We are with you, and when your end comes, you will join us. And we will stand with the next brother....who stands alone."
But death replied: ˜I choose him.' So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns.
-Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)
See Armaments 3:16 in the Old Testament "And the Son of God, in need of protection from His enemies, did hard fit His Kart barrel into John, Son of Brownings, great genius and smote the non-believers with Great Fury in His Divine Mercy. Upon His birth, there was a number on His body and that number was Nineteen hundred and eleven. And so it is written, for thine is the Kingdom, the Stopping Power and the Glory and His magazine shall have no end. Amen."
"Excuses are for losers; professionals identify the problem, fix it, and move on."
It's a long road out of Hell when you refuse to do the Devil's work. Believe me when I say all is not well, and if I have time to kill, I'll be back for you.

Defend the weak, protect both young and old, never desert your friends. Give justice to all, be fearless in battle and always ready to defend the right. Show welcome and good cheer to all of true heart.

"Look, it is the four pillars of the male heterosexual psyche. We like: naked women, stockings, lesbians and Sean Connery best as James Bond. Because that is what being a boy is."

"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." T. Roosevelt
“The average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans, on average, drink about 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to
the gallon.”
“...and I don't think he even knows it...Walks around with a half-assed grin...If he feels fear, he don't show it. Just rides into hell and back again.”
I find that, as a general rule, if you can see all the way through their head, you used enough gun.
Professional, well-executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead.

"Stand rigid, for the next battle. Peace means reloading your guns"
"I once saw a man shot at point blank range 37 times in the head and 14 times in the chest with a 9mm and he was still able to finish the Ironman competition (he only placed 4th, though) and then wrestle a grizzly bear into submission. On the other hand, I once saw a man shot from 75 yards with a .45ACP. The round grazed his left pinky which blew his right arm and leg completely off his body and caused his brain to explode. Then his goldfish died."
A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”
Never walk away from home ahead of your axe and sword.
You can't feel a battle in your bones or foresee a fight.
