Many people in this world are obsessed with starting wars and conflict, others are obsessed with trying to prevent it and like to hug trees. So what do they say about war?

Some people on the forum have really funny/clever quotes from famous people (past or present) regarding warfare, which is pretty relevant in SH I think!!!

So what are you're favourite war quotes?

Put them on in English if possible, or at least in Swedish with a translation for thos of us who are "linguistically challenged" like me or just plain stupid like president Bush

One of my favourite quotes would have to be this one:

"A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him." -Sir Winston Churchill

There is also this link to a Bush/Oil/Iraq joke

"War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children."

Jimmy Carter (1924 - )

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Albert Einstein

That's one of the quotes shown in operation flashpoint, and it kind of got stuck in my head.

[edit]
This is not what I would consider a war quote, but I'll post it anyway.

"They misunderestimated me."
president Bush

You can get a poster with loads of stupid bush quotes on it, one of friends has it. Very funny.

"You can tell it's a budget because its got lots of numbers in it" is one of them, that may be slightly wrong, but i think its (more or less) word for word correct.
