Some military quotes survive because they captured a decision made under fire. Others lasted because they explained war, leadership or sacrifice in a sentence short enough to carry across generations. This list favors lines with strong historical sourcing. A few are preserved through later eyewitness accounts, which is noted where necessary. Widely shared quotations with disputed or invented attributions were left out.​ Military Museum: Statue of Sun Tzu, Ancient Weapons special exhibit. (Gary Todd from Xinzheng, China, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons) 1. “Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” Sun Tzu The heart of The Art of War: victory…
On May 18, 1917, six weeks after the United States declared war on Germany, Congress passed the Selective Service Act. It was the first national draft since the Civil War, and it changed the daily reality of nearly every young man in the country almost overnight. If you want to know whether you would have been called up, the honest answer depends on exactly how old you were, what you did for a living, and how the war’s demand for manpower shifted over its final 18 months. The First Registration: June 5, 1917 The government designated June 5, 1917 as…
Most people assume the World War II draft began the day after Pearl Harbor. It didn’t. The United States started conscripting men more than a year before it entered the war, and the rules that governed who got called up changed dramatically once it did. Whether you’d have gone depends heavily on which version of the draft you’re asking about. The First Peacetime Draft in American History On Sept. 16, 1940, with France already fallen and Britain under siege, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act, commonly called the Burke-Wadsworth Act. It required all men between 21…
One of the things that I believe should be uncontroversial is the idea of making schools terrible targets for would-be mass killers. Armed teachers, hardened schools, armed security- nothing should be off the table in making schools virtual fortresses that can be unwelcoming places for those who want to murder our children. And yeah, I guess that includes pepper spray-wielding drones, as Cam talked about a couple of months back. Then, the drones were set to be tested in a Georgia high school.Now, they’re being deployed elsewhere.How do we combat the scourge of school shootings?…
CAIRO (AP) — Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said early Thursday they had attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, and the U.S. military conducted a 12th night of strikes against Iran as the two countries vie for control of vital shipping lanes. The Houthi attack threatened to open a new front in a war that has roiled the global economy, sending prices for fuel and other goods surging across the world. With the standoff in the Gulf deepening, there were no signs of progress in diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. U.S. Central Command said its strikes were…

National Hire a Veteran Day enters its 10th year on July 25 with a broader message for employers: Do not just hire veterans. Put them in jobs that use what they learned in uniform. Dan Caporale, a Marine Corps veteran and founder of Hire Our Heroes, created the observance in 2017 as a national call to action for veteran employment and challenged employers to hire veterans, retain them and give them a real path to grow. Caporale said the goal was never just awareness. Employers already knew how to say they supported veterans. He wanted a day that pushed them…
