Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance; the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
    —Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)

    “We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
