    “So you’ll face me with a court of inquiry, eh, in England. Well, Mr. Christian, we’re a long way from England and what can happen on this ship before we get there may surprise even you.”
    —Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)

    “All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.... Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost—and will never lose—a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.”
    —Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)
