These are some quotes i love from people related to a militar enviroment.

From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants - Thomas Jefferson

Strategy is making use of time and space. Im less concerned about the later than the former. Lost space we can recover, lost time never - Napoleon

The power of an airforce is terrific when there is nothin to oppose it- Winston Churchill

By the way i totally agree with hesslers quote. Although i do not share Hitlers political view, i think learning history is that and not only memory and names
