Infantry Quotes

If we come to a minefield, our infantry attacks exactly as it were not there Picture Quote #1

The army consists of the first infantry division and eight million replacements Picture Quote #1

I proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean War as an artillery operations specialist in the all-black 503rd Field Artillery Battalion in the Second Infantry Division Picture Quote #1

All front-line combat jobs in the infantry, special operations units and elsewhere are now open to women Picture Quote #1

Marine and Army women have deployed with infantry units in Iraq and Afghanistan in what’s called female engagement teams, going into villages, talking with women and sometimes coming under fire Picture Quote #1

I fought as an infantry Marine on one of the Vietnam War’s harshest battlefields. After leaving the Marine Corps, I studied law and found a fulfilling career as an author and journalist. But again and again, I came back to the personal fulfillment that can only come from public service Picture Quote #1

The Marines already have started putting women through infantry training. They’ve done it for the past couple of years. And it’s tough. Roughly one-third of women have made it through that infantry training. So you’re not going to see a lot of women actually make it through this Picture Quote #1

The human life is all one thing, like a blade tracing loops on the ice: a little kid, a twenty-three-year-old infantry sergeant, a middle-aged writer knowing guilt and sorrow Picture Quote #1

I always feel I had a very lucky life. For example, I sure didn’t want to go in the army: when I was drafted in the Korean War, I wanted to go as a photographer. But luckily, they put me in the infantry - luckily because the official photographer was photographing the medal awarding and all the official situations Picture Quote #1

In the summer of 1952, when I was 30, the Army assigned me to an infantry unit fighting in Korea. Meanwhile, though, there was other news in my family: My father had become the Republican presidential nominee. As an ambitious young major, I refused any offers for other assignments Picture Quote #1

I’m convinced that the infantry is the group in the army which gives more and gets less than anybody else Picture Quote #1

It is remarkable that this people, though unarmed, dares attack an armed foe; the infantry defy the cavalry, and by their activity and courage generally prove victors Picture Quote #1

My grandfather was in World War II and fought in Europe in Army Infantry, so I have such a huge respect for him, and he’s shared some personal experiences with me Picture Quote #1

As an infantry officer who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, I have led men in combat and trained them on tactics and strategy. The mission of the infantry is to ‘close with, and destroy, the enemy.’ Our job, in a direct way, is to fight and win wars Picture Quote #1

I think the guys who are sort of infantry in Somali piracy are not unlike low-level drug dealers in urban areas in America, who see it as, you know, not having many other options. I think it comes down to money and needing to survive Picture Quote #1

You’ve got soldiers in the 3rd Infantry Division who are going every day on operations and they don’t all have what is considered to be the gold standard in armor Picture Quote #1

Once the mass of the defending infantry become possessed of low moral, the battle is as good as lost Picture Quote #1

By the last returns to the Department of War the militia force of the several States may be estimated at 800,000 men - infantry, artillery, and cavalry Picture Quote #1

There was something terrible, but also something sad and melancholy in this long cry uttered by the Russian infantry as they staged an attack. As it crossed the cold water, it lost its fervor. Instead of valor or gallantry, you could hear the sadness of a soul parting with everything that it loved, calling on its nearest and dearest to wake up, to lift their head from their pillows and hear for the last time the voice of a father, a husband, a son or a brother Picture Quote #1

To plan to reserve cavalry for the finish of the battle, is to have no conception of the power of combined infantry and cavalry charges, either for attack or for defense Picture Quote #1

On my left the shooting had the sharp explosion of the infantry artillery, on my right could be heard the sporadic cannon shots thundering from the front, and up above the sky was clear and the sun bright Picture Quote #1

A perfect writer would make words sing, dance, kiss, do the male and female act, bear children, weep, bleed, rage, stab, steal, fire cannon, steer ships, sack cities, charge with cavalry or infantry, or do anything that man or woman or the natural powers can do Picture Quote #1

Good infantry is without doubt the sinews of an army; but if it has to fight a long time against very superior artillery, it will become demoralized and will be destroyed Picture Quote #1

Artillery is more essential to cavalry than to infantry, because cavalry has no fire for its defence, but depends on the sabre Picture Quote #1

Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front Picture Quote #1

The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry, and in fact all the arms, lean on the gunners Picture Quote #1

We were lavish of blood in those days, and it was thought to be a great thing to charge a battery of artillery or an earthwork lined with infantry Picture Quote #1

Being shelled is the main work of an infantry soldier, which no one talks about. Everyone has his own way of going about it. In general, it means lying face down and contracting your body into as small a space as possible Picture Quote #1

I’m convinced that the infantry is the group in the army which gives more and gets less than anybody else Picture Quote #1

I am in the infantry for 17 weeks and after that I don’t know where I am going Picture Quote #1
