Military Quotes

Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.

-- Otto Von Bismarck

"EAGLE and the DOVE" by phuloi - Vietnam

When upon your quest for harmony and vision

Mysteries of the universe begin to appear

Quite soon you`ll have but one decision

And that alone may be your greatest fear

Do you fear the eagle

Do you fear the dove

It seems that from both you run and you hide

You must never again compromise love

Nor those demons that lurk deep inside

From the eagle learn his way

Let him teach you how to prey

And conquer evil from days gone by

And to spread your wings and learn to fly

From the dove learn her way

Let her teach you how to pray

For forgiveness and peace and for love

And that God is with you the eagle and dove
