On a more serious note!....

"My knowledge of pain, learned with the sabre, taught me not to be afraid. And just as in dueling when you must concentrate on your enemy's cheek, so, too, in war. You cannot waste time on feinting and sidestepping. You must decide on your target and go in." Otto Skorzeny.

Not WW2 I know, but it moves me, and sums up almost every world conflict there has been.

"In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success." -Isoroku Yamamoto

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
( and you have to do the voice to make it work )
Winston Churchill, November 1942

"The losses were heavy, but all ranks would willingly undertake another operation under similar conditions…We have no regrets."
Major General Robert Urquhart

and....

"We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit."
General George S. Patton.

The reference to 'purple piss' is insinuating that the Japannese were all infected with STD'S. If Patton was not a general I think he would have made a good comedian!!
