CAPTAIN BENJAMIN L. WILLARD, Apocalypse Now (1979)
In a war there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action...what is often called ruthless. What may in many circumstances be only clarity. Seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it...directly, quickly, awake, looking at it.

Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called "the better angels of our nature".
GENERAL CORMAN, Apocalypse Now (1979)
General Patton has said, "Wars are fought with weapons, but they are won by men."
COLONEL CHESTER PHILLIPS, Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
You don't win wars with niceness...you win wars with guts.
COLONEL CHESTER PHILLIPS, Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
