We ceased to deal seriously with mobile combat. We relegated to oblivion the fundamentals of combat-in-depth tactics and of combined arms maneuvers which had been widespread before the Finnish campaign.

Sergey Biryuzov

If I have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. You divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants. You can attack deliberately combatants, but not deliberately noncombatants. Israel acts that way. It attacks combatants and accidentally kills noncombatants. But in the case of the terrorists, it's the exact opposite. They deliberately attack combatants - noncombatants, civilians, deliberately.

Benjamin Netanyahu

[Barack] Obama believes you can hold enemy combatants, unlawful enemy combatants at Gitmo without a criminal trial because this is law of war detention.

Chris Matthews

He who has ceased to enjoy his friend's superiority has ceased to love him.

Sophie Swetchine

He who has ceased to learn has ceased to teach. He who no longer sows in the study will no more reap in the pulpit.

Steven J. Law

I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.

Erica Jong

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

The man who has ceased to fear has ceased to care.

F. H. Bradley

I've seen men and women who were fit for combat that I wanted to fight beside, and men and women who I really wouldn't want to go back into combat with. It really doesn't have anything to do with gender.

MJ Hegar

Tammy Duckworth

You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.

John Romero

I knew that I wanted to apply for a job in the Air Force, that I couldn't because it was a direct-combat, ground-combat role.

MJ Hegar

We now have only 31 brigade combat teams or 490,000 troops. And only one-third of combat teams are considered combat-ready. That's not good for our country. I actually don't even like saying it because plenty of countries are watching us right now, but we'll get it shaped up very quickly.

Donald Trump

Combat is my profession and fighting was a great way to maintain a combat mindset while preparing to lead Marines in war.

Brian Stann

They send women into combat without being prepared for women in combat. The men resented them being there, and it was just very, very difficult for them, and they had to fight for the respect they were earning. And that's all they want is the respect.

Mary Gauthier

There are no women in these ground combat jobs.Women, of course, have been flying combat missions in fighter jets, attack helicopters, for more than 20 years, but beginning this week, those ground combat jobs in infantry, artillery and armor will be open to women. Officials don't expect a rush of women interested.
