 Copy Quote
Motivation My Life

Yes, my life is a life of combat; I can say that this has never stopped for a single instant. It is a combat that started for me at the age of 16. I'm 90 years old now, and my motivation hasn't changed; it's the same fervour that drives me.

- Ahmed Ben Bella

 Copy Quote
One Day Hang

You're in a combat zone one day. You come home, and then you have to readjust, and it takes a few days. We just sit in the house, hang with the family and then things get better.

- Chris Kyle

 Copy Quote
Very Could

It's possible that in the future, women could be drafted not only into the military... but actually drafted into combat. I'm very uncomfortable with that.

 Copy Quote
Against Been

I mean... if you're raised as a decent human being, killing somebody is against every moral thing you've ever been taught. And so, generally, in combat it's 'krauts,' the 'gooks,' the 'yanks' - whatever you want to do to try and make it so that it's not a human being.

- Karl Marlantes

 Copy Quote

- Kirsten Gillibrand

 Copy Quote
I Think Whole

My whole life experience feeds into my writing. I think that must be true for every writer. Clearly the Army and combat were major influences; just the same, you need to understand that many of the writers we have now couldn't load a revolver.

- Gene Wolfe

 Copy Quote
Him Another

How do you combat a man with a firearm? You don't combat him with a golf club, baseball bat or a knife. You combat him with another firearm.

- Luke Scott

 Copy Quote
Information Share

If you combat an international phenomenon, it is indispensable to share information internationally.

- Gijs de Vries

 Copy Quote
Goal Putting

Putting women in military combat is the cutting edge of the feminist goal to force us into an androgynous society.

- Phyllis Schlafly

 Copy Quote
Why Individual

The only way to find out why someone decides to engage in armed combat is to look at their individual personality.

- Salman Rushdie

 Copy Quote
Education Reach

A high-quality public education can build much-needed skills and knowledge. It can help children reach their God-given potential. It can stabilize communities and democracies. It can strengthen economies. It can combat the kind of fear and despair that evolves into hatred.

- Randi Weingarten

 Copy Quote
Going Certainly

Certainly we're going to continue to see those commercials that I call 30-second drive-by shootings. And they're going to have a lot of money to do it. But we're going to combat it.

- Tom Barrett

 Copy Quote
Young None

The combat environment has the effect of flattening out civilian identities. If you're young or old, or a graduate from Harvard or the son of a farmer from Alabama, or if you're gay or straight or good-looking or ugly: none of those things matters much in combat, as long as you can conform to the group expectations.

- Sebastian Junger

 Copy Quote
Mafia Everybody

In all these years, I've always tried to emphasize and to promote the need to combat the Mafia. Because it is a cancer which is oppressive and which stifles everybody's freedom and reduces the possibility for the areas in which it's present to prosper and to develop.

- Sergio Mattarella

 Copy Quote
Expert Guy

When you have a background in combat sports, people think you're this martial arts expert, but really I'm just a guy who is able to do certain things without making a mess of himself.

- Rick Yune

 Copy Quote
Straight Fists

My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.

- Mary-Louise Parker

 Copy Quote
Before Aspects

'Shortly Thereafter' chronicles all the aspects of an Afghanistan deployment, from the terrors of the unknown that await before leaving, to the perverse thrills and adrenaline rushes found in combat, to the return home to a land and a people now more foreign than the war itself was.

- Matt Gallagher

 Copy Quote
Your Harsh

It's true that if you advise politicians on economic policy in the U.S. today, you spend your time in a cross between inquiry and combat. You are always on the periphery of harsh partisan warfare that has nothing to do with substance.

- Robert Shapiro

 Copy Quote
My Life Kid

I've lived most of my life in Manhattan, but I lived in Brooklyn for a while as a kid. I went to junior high school there. Girls in Brooklyn have to be tough - I mean real tough - just to get by. It's life in the combat zone.

- Patty Smyth

 Copy Quote
Believe Mental

I believe that the issue of mental health services for our troops deploying or returning from combat is one that demands the attention of this body, if only for a few minutes today.

- Rosa DeLauro

 Copy Quote
Allowed Units

Combat duty is strenuous and physically demanding, and I'm not the first person to notice that men and women are built differently. And while many will argue that women will only be allowed into combat arms units under the same requirements as their male counterparts, count me as skeptical.

- Pete Hegseth

 Copy Quote
Line Iraqi

In addition to a timeline, I have proposed that U.S. troops be removed from front line combat positions in Iraqi cities and towns, turning over daily security patrols, interactions with citizens, and any offensive security actions to the Iraqis themselves.

- Peter DeFazio

 Copy Quote
Buy Had

Units were coming to combat with DCGS because it was their tool kit, so to speak, but they basically had it boxed up and parked in a corner. They were using off-the-shelf stuff they were having to buy prior to coming into the theater.

 Copy Quote
Needs Gene

To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.

- Rupert Everett
