War

It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I dont regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldnt save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. Im not naive, and I dont romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job. – Chris Kyle

When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesnt exist anymore. – Jarvis Cocker

One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear – the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. And I just dont think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing. – Lawrence Eagleburger

When I was growing up, it was Communists. Now its Terrorists. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything. – Cindy Sheehan

The War on Drugs employs millions – politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military – that probably couldnt find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners. – L. Neil Smith

People say you favor assassination, what do you think war is? Except that its assassination on a much larger scale, a much more horrific scale. – John Bolton

I consider Bushs decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies, and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning. – Jurgen Habermas

I think theres a tremendous split between people whove been through a war and people who havent. – Antonia Fraser

War is by no means something glamorous, and I dont think that should ever be forgotten. – Curt Schilling

I frankly dont think its going to be a successful war on terrorism until law enforcement agencies like the FBI are willing to share with other law enforcement agencies. If they cant share information, theres no way this war can be won. – Patty Hearst

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I dont want to make money that way. I dont want blood money. – Ted Turner

Nothing is more useless in developing a nations economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men. – King Hussein I

We did not go to war in Afghanistan or in Iraq to, quote, impose democracy. We went to war in both places because we saw those regimes as a threat to the United States. – Paul Wolfowitz

I mean, were going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as Im alive. – Paul Wolfowitz

And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films, it would be Civil War – not civil war in the way we know it, but the daily war that goes on between us all. – Michael Haneke

The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I dont think there is any point in having wars if thats how youre going to behave. Its pathetic. All this whining! – Rupert Everett

Were fighting an enemy that is far different than any we have got before. Its a nontraditional kind of war, and I think we need to step back, recalibrate how we go about protecting our borders and protecting our people, and resetting our position in the world. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

No, I chose the name Jane Seymour because I was doing my first film, Ode to Lovely War, and one of the top agents in England spotted me dancing in the chorus. I was a singer and dancer in that movie with Maggie Smith, um, and he told me he couldnt sell me as Joyce Penelope Willomena Frankenburger. – Jane Seymour

World War II has always been of great interest to me. Ive known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into. – Harry Browne

Im old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war. – Harry Browne
