A few memorable quotes from
Retired
US Marine Corps General James Mattis
“I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure.
I cannot even spell the word.”
“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you,
with tears in my eyes: If you f---- with me, I’ll kill you all.”
“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy)
and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us
and our freedoms intact.”
“Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”
“The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”
“You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”
“You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”
“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway.
“I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
“Demonstrate to the world there is
‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”
