Soviet Red Army

Famous quotes containing the words soviet, red and/or army:

    If the Soviet Union can give up the Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let’s all go to bed wearing the perfume we like best.
    Carlos Fuentes (b. 1928)

    He gets red roses in different places,
    the head, that time he was as sleepy as a river,
    the back, that time he was a broken scarecrow,
    the arm like a diamond had bitten it,
    the leg, twisted like a licorice stick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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?
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
