Montgomery:

Montgomery once said this famously when talking about how to employ people:

People can be roughly divided into four categories, 1 smart, 2 dumb. , 3 diligent, 4 lazy, everyone has both of the above characteristics.

The first type: very smart, but very lazy, can be a commander.

The second type: very smart and very diligent, and can be used as a staff officer.

The third type: very lazy and stupid, can be a soldier.

The fourth type: very stupid, but very diligent, drive him as far away as possible immediately!

Patton:

1. Americans never forgive losers. Americans despise cowards. Since Americans are participating, they must win. I sneer at people who laugh even when they lose.

2. The so-called personal heroism is a pile of horse manure. Those bile guys who spend their days shitting out the Saturday Evening Post know no more about real fighting than they do about fucking women.

3. We have the best supplies, the best weapons and equipment, the strongest fighting spirit and the best fighters in the world. To be honest, I pity the soldiers who will fight us.

4. Not all heroes are as described in legends. Every soldier in the army plays an important role. Don't be careless and think that your task is insignificant. Everyone has a role to play and must do it well. Everyone is an essential link in a long chain.

5. This cowardly soldier can make excuses for himself: "What the hell, the earth will continue to rotate without me. I am just one in ten million." But what if everyone thinks like this? By then, what will we do? What will our country, our loved ones, and even the entire world look like? No, grandma, Americans don’t think like that. Everyone should complete his task. Everyone is responsible for the collective.

6. There is no room for cowards in our army. All cowards should be killed like rats. Otherwise, they will sneak back home after the war and give birth to more cowards. I am a hero and my son is a hero, I am a coward and my son is a coward. Kill all the damn cowards and our country will be a land of brave men.

7. A pint of sweat can save a gallon of blood.

8. Twenty years from now, you will be glad that you participated in this world war. Until then, when you are by the fireplace and your grandson is sitting on your knee and he asks you, "Grandpa, what were you doing in World War II?" you don't have to cough awkwardly and move your grandson to the other knee. On the other hand, he hesitated and said: "Ah... Grandpa, I was shoveling manure in Louisiana." On the contrary, brothers, you can look him straight in the eyes and say confidently: "Grandson, grandpa, I was shoveling manure in Louisiana." The Army Group fought side by side with that soldier, George Patton!

9. I don’t want to receive a telegram saying, “We are holding our ground.” We are not holding any positions, and let the German devils hold their positions. /p>

10. My biggest regret is that it was not solved the moment the war ended, which made me feel very unhappy.

Otherwise, I will be even more perfect in your eyes!

11. War is simple, straightforward, and ruthless, so a simple and ruthless person is needed to carry the war to the end!

Zhukov:

If I knew that there was a minefield on the way forward, I would also let the troops drive directly through it.

It is not that Leningrad is afraid of death, but death is afraid of Leningrad!

I can do any job, command a division, an army, a group army, a front army - as long as the motherland needs it.

Personnel, weapons, and military ideas - these are the three basic elements of an army.

Advance to wherever possible as quickly as possible!

If you don’t know how, we will teach you; if you don’t want to learn, we will force you to learn. In short, you need to be a good tanker.

Mark Arthur:

"You are young when you have faith, and you are old when you have doubts. You are young when you are confident, and you are old when you are afraid. You are young when you have hope, and you are old when you are hopeless. Time will only etch your skin, but if you lose your enthusiasm, your soul will no longer be young."

"Talents are useful but not useful."

“If you don’t have the confidence to win, the war will be defeated.”

“A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.”

“Only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live. "

"I shall return"

"Veterans will never die, they just fade away quietly"

"Welcoming war is like welcoming the sun"

"If you have a wonderful plan, you must spare no effort to implement it, and do it today."

"History is just the biography of a great man"

My life has It's almost dusk, twilight has fallen. The tones and colors of my past were gone, they had slipped away vaguely in the dreams of the past. The memories of the past are very beautiful, washed with tears and comforted by yesterday's smile. I listened eagerly but in vain to the faint and charming sound of the morning bugle and the thumping of the military drum in the distance. In my dream, I again heard the rumble of artillery, the crackle of rifle fire, and the strange and sad murmurs of the battlefield. However, in my dusk memory, I always come to West Point, and the words always echo in my ears: responsibility, honor, country.

Today marks my last roll call of you. But I want you to know that when I die, my last natural thought will be of your troop—this troop—this troop.

I bid you farewell.

Stone is hard, but what is harder than it is human height and will. It is guided by ideals and can conquer and cast the hardest stone.
