Quote of the day

"Until technology enables me to handcuff you from afar, I will need to arrest you face-to-face, man-to-man. This means that, when we fight, when I call upon those elements of the warrior within, I will be close enough to smell you, to touch you, to strike you, to cut you, to hear you, to plead with you, to wrestle with you, to shoot you, to handcuff you, to bleed on you and you on me, to tend your wounds, to hear your last words. Our meeting may be brief, but I will have had a more intense contact with you, my unwanted adversary, than with most of my loved ones."
Scott Mattison, Chief Deputy, Swift County Sheriff's Dept, Benson, MN. as quoted by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in "On Combat"

Quote of the day

"His code in peacetime is the same as that in the military: do your duty, protect the weak, protect the community, face the bully,  stand tall, stay aware, think ahead, be ready, be loyal, avoid aggression if possible and, if not, win and win fully."
Justin Smith, as quoted by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in "On Combat"
