It’s stupid to go and fight if you know you’re gonna die. I don't want to die, so I'm going to win!
On s'engage, et puis… on voit.
— The one minute. The soldier's minute. In a battle, that's all you get. One minute of everything at once. And anything before is nothing. Everything after nothing. Nothing in comparison to that one minute.
— Didn't you get enough minutes over there?
The living can fight until they break. The dead do not break.
A fight isn’t won once a victor is decided, it’s won when someone loses.
Rumor is a terrible thing. Come nightfall, these men will all reach the same conclusion. That you're a coward and a liar, putting your life above theirs. Good news is there's hope for you, private. Hope in the form of glorious combat. Battle is the great redeemer. The fiery crucible in which the only true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in.
