When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. Now, I wouldn't 't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans. When you're a kid, everyone admires champions Marble shooter, fastest runner, major league player, toughest boxer.

Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating. Now the army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps and fights as a team. This individualistic stuff is a bunch of crap. Those grumpy bastards who write about individualism for the Saturday Evening Post, they don't understand real fighting like they don't know how to fuck a horse.

Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything — except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the ass. We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're gonna kick him in the ass. gonna go through him like crap through a goose! Now, there's another thing I want you to remember.

You won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana." Now when you come home, you will have one thing to say, You can thank God for it.
