With our military men and women fighting in Iraq these quotes from war movies came to mind. How many do you know. I'll start with an easy one.

1) "Now I want you to remember no bastard ever won a war by giving his life for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

2) "Stop worrying about fear. Think of yourself as already dead."

3) "Most of the miseries of the world were caused by wars. And when the wars were over, nobody ever knew what they were about."

4) "You still think it's beautiful to die for your country? The first bombardment taught us better. When it comes to dying for country, it's better not to die at all."

5) "Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't really ground him."

while most sounded familiar,no.1 for sure is "Patton", and No.2 "Longest Day",[maybe]. The rest ?????

Kenwal68: The first is correct. The second quote, although in the correct war, is not from The Longest Day.

#5....CATCH-22

Kan,is the second quote from the movie "D day 6th of June with ROBERT TAYLOR.

kan,
After my last post today I was thinking that second quote might be from 12 o'clock High.

Kenwal68: You are correct the second quote is from 12 O'Clock High. Now what about the third and fourth quotes? In one of the wars you could get lost if you didn't know your directions. Smiley

how about Gettysburg for no. 4

Kenwal68: That is not correct. I have given a clue for no. 3. A clue for no. 4 is: Things were pretty quiet here.

Thanks for the clue.[ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT].But still dont know the other.Was it a civil war movie?

No. 3 is from a Civil War movie.

#3-----Rhett Butler in "Gone with the Wind."
