Famous quotes containing the words army and/or led:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”

“In enterprise of martial kind,
When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind—
He found it less exciting.”
