From the Great Chesty

"Our country wont go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any AMERICA because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race!"

"Paper work will ruin any military force"

"You don't hurt'em if you don't hit 'em"

Chesty on the other forces:

When an Army captain asked him for the direction of the line of retreat, Chesty turned to his tank commander, gave him the Army position and orderd: "If they start to pull back from that line, even one foot, I want you to open fire on them" Turning back to the captain he replied "does that answer your question? We are here to fight." At Koto-ri Korea

"The mail service has been excellent out here, and in my opinion this is all that the Air Force has accomplished during the war"
In a letter to his wife while in Korea

When the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines and the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty ratio on and enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process.
An enemy division is 16500+men while a Marine Division is 12500 men.

When a Journalist asked him about being surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. Chesty replied.
"They are a damn site better than the U.S. Army, at least we know they will be there in the morning"

"They are in front of us , behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away now!"

"there are not enough chinamen in the world to stop a fully armed Marine regiment from going where ever they want to go"

Justice Scalia

Sep. 15, 2008 Justice Scalia came and spoke at USU. It was a great speach and a great opertunity i couldnt pass up the thing i came away the most with was. The relif that not all in washington is lost i was amazed to hear someone had the same love and passion for the country that i do.
He is dead on with the saying that his court has moved into relems that it was never ment to do and his love for the constitution i thought was shown very strongly
the ? that i know he never would have awnsered in that forem but i would love to ask in a private conversation. I ask all of you the same question. We know that the system is broken! Can we depend on the broken system to fix itself? I say know we continue to send the same back to washington and we exspect it to get better. Is that not the defenition of stupidity. When you have a thrown rod in your engine you dont keep driving it and hope it fixes itself. You tear it apart and rebuild it or get a new one. I dont see a diffrence with washington are mean american 8 cylender is running on maybe 4 its time to rebuilt the motor.

Hey, long time no see man? Where you been? I'm jealous you got to hear Scalia speak. I had to work. Sounds like it was good though.
