THE MOVIE : saving private ryan
Private Jackson (SNIPER) : Be not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me.
Private Jackson: Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
Private Jackson: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Private Jackson: O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Btw, the above mentioned quotes are actually verses from the Bible, out from the Book of Psalms, written by King David. Mostly written while his enemies, namely King Saul, was trying to hv him killed. The character Pte. Jackson was a most religious Sniper. Which kinda explains why he could sleep so easily in the cathedral in the movie while the rest of his squad was finding it so hard to sleep...Originally posted by goliath:THE MOVIE : saving private ryan

"So they've got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards won't get away this time!"
---Colonel "Chesty" Puller, US Marines; at the Chosin Resevoir, Korea -
"There you see more women than warriors. Unwarlike, unarmed, they will give way the moment they have recognized that sword and that courage of their conquerors, which have so often routed them. Even among many legions, it is a few who really decide the battle, and it will enhance their glory that a small force should earn the renown of an entire army. Only close up the ranks, and having discharged your javelins, then with shields and swords continue the work of bloodshed and destruction, without a thought of plunder. When once the victory has been won, everything will be in your power."
---Suetonius Paulinus to his vastly outnumbered Roman troops before the final battle with Boudicca; Brittania 61 A.D. -

The leigons....1 leigon of around 5,000 won around 30,000 celts.Originally posted by whiteillum:who won?
1st they picked a ground that was flanked by forest meaning only a frontal attack was possible.Also the space was limited and only a few could fight at the same time thus negating the numerical advantage of the enemy. -
The Romans won and according to Tacitus the dead on the britons side was 80,00 while the romans lost only 400. Boudicca fled home and poisoned herselfOriginally posted by whiteillum:who won?
