"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil.
You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway.
So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.
Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot.
It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you.
I like brawling."

Marine General James Mattis

"When future generations ask why America is still free and the
heyday of Al Qaeda and their terrorist allies was counted in days
rather than in centuries as the extremists themselves predicted,
our hometown heroes-soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen,
and Marines-can say,

“because of me and people like me who risked all to protect millions
who will never know my name.”

Marine Major General John F. Kelly
