Doug sent me this quote, and I had seen it floating around before, but never knew it’s source. It was written by a 7th Group guy, and this quote is hanging on the wall of quite a few offices and bulletin boards on bases out there. I think it was written in 2006, but that is not confirmed. And who knows, maybe this guy got the quote somewhere else. Either way, it is an excellent quote and worthy of mention here on FJ. –Matt

“Somewhere a true believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food and water, in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn’t worry about what workout to do — his rucksack weighs what is weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The true believer doesn’t care how hard it is; he knows that he either wins or dies. He doesn’t go home at 1700; he is home. He only knows the cause. Now. Who wants to quit?”
