The toughest of the tough.

It takes a tough man to cry and there are times when others admire the
person for showing some human emotion!

It's not what you do on television that counts. It is what you do
in combat that counts. No Air Medals for TV appearances.

The trouble with some is that they believe that the Hollywood film industry,
like any other of the other film industries portray life as the real thing.
This is a dangerous thing and you don't get a new game play when dead.

Also, the true test of one's character is judged by what he does when
no one is looking. No Air Medals for Autocollimator appearances.
