“War makes extremely heavy demands on the soldier’s strength and nerves. For this reason, make heavy demands on your men in peacetime exercises.”

“I don’t mind being called tough, because in this racket, it’s tough guys who lead the survivors.”

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person, who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important that his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

“In every battle, there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten; then he who continues the attack wins.”

“There is only one sort of discipline – PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.”

“War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggressively. The enemy must not be fended off; but smitten down. You may then spare him every exaction, relinquish every gain, but ‘til then he must be struck incessantly and remorselessly.”

“Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more. You should never wish to do less.”

“The American people rightly look to their military leaders to be not only skilled in the technical aspects of the profession of arms, but to be men of integrity.”

“Leadership is intangible; therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.”

“If our air forces are never used, they have achieved their finest goal.”

“If I didn’t have air supremacy, I wouldn’t be here.”

“Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of military strength, public trust, and self-respect are lost.”

“Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.”

“The power of excellence is overwhelming. It is always in demand, and nobody cares about its color.”

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.”

To fly, fight and win... in air, space and cyberspace.

“We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.”

• “Yes, Sir (Ma’am).”
• “No, Sir (Ma’am).”
• “No excuse, Sir (Ma’am).”
• “Sir (Ma’am), I do not know.”
• “Sir (Ma’am), I do not understand.”
• “Sir (Ma’am), may I make a statement?”
• “Sir (Ma’am), may I ask a question?”

“I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.”

“I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.”

“If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.”

“If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action, which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.”

“When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.”

“I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.”

• Off with one hell – uv - a - roar.

• Then down we roar to score,
• the rainbow's pot of gold.

• Keep the wings level and true;
• If you’d live to be a gray - haired wonder
• Keep the nose out of the blue!
• Flying men, guarding the nation's borders
• We'll be there followed by more.
• In echelon, we carry on, Hey!
• Nothing’ll stop the US Air Force!
