On his wartime experiences: "As to what a fellow thinks when he`s scared, I guess it`s the same with anyone. You get fleeting glimpses in your mind of your home, your wife, the baby you want to see. You see so clearly all the mistakes you made. You want another chance to correct those mistakes. You wonder how you could have attached so much importance to ridiculous, meaningless things in your life. But before you get to thinking too much, you`re off into action and everything else is forgotten."
- Wayne MorrisUsually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.
- Ann CoulterWhat (Winston) Churchill did in wartime, Margaret Thatcher did in peacetime.
- Michael HowardIn wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
- Winston ChurchillAll defense secretaries in wartime have, needless to say, made misjudgments.
- Bill KristolWe are at war, but we are not. Does it seem like a wartime nation? Bush has not asked for sacrifices, hasn`t done the recruiting speech, hasn`t asked us to do the recycling or to conserve or a lot of the things you read about in past wars.
- Tom TaylorThough slow to develop, terrorist humor has done all of this. Political satire has been particularly valuable in challenging the seemingly lockstep wartime outlook, reminding us that even in dire times it is always prudent to question authority.
- Paul LewisThe man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward.
- Allan PopeIt is time for blacks to begin the shift from a wartime to a peacetime identity, from fighting for opportunity to the seizing of it.
