Having been personally responsible for more than my fair share of miniature military disasters, who am I to judge these military Giants. Can you guess who said the following?


1. “I will either find a way or make one!”

2. “Soldiers, do your duty! Straight to the heart but spare the face! Fire!

3. “He who has not learned to obey, cannot be a good commander.”

4. ” I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat!”         It’s definately not Musty’s Kebab shop either!

5. ” I will not steal a victory!”

6. “If you want a rainbow, you have to deal with the rain!”


7. In the midst of chaos there is also opportunity.

8. …..the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.


9. The printing press is the greatest weapon in the armoury of the modern commander.


10. My father would be an amazing, amazing commander in chief!

    1. I like the story about the actress who explained that she looked fat because the camera added several pounds. The unkind cameraman retorted, ” well, stop eating xxxxxxx cameras then!”

      1. Blimey… I meant # 10’as a joke since I felt it would fit the mindset of the Trump family.
