Two Armies
"I'd like to have two armies: one for display with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals, and dear little Regimental Officers, who would be deeply concerned over the General's bowel movements, or their Colonel's piles: An army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the real one, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display, but from whom, impossible efforts would be demanded, and to whom, all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the army in which I should fight.
Jean Larteguy

The Fallschirmjager Ten Commandments
Written by Maj. Gen. Kurt Student, (Father of the German Airborne)
"1. You are the chosen ones of the German Army. You will seek combat and train yourselves to endure any manner of test. To you, the battle shall be fulfillment.
2. Cultivate true comradeship, for by the aid of your comrades you will conquer or die.
3. Beware of talking. Be not corruptible. Men act while women chatter. Chatter may bring you to the grave.
4. Be calm and prudent, strong and resolute. Valour and enthusiasm of an offensive spirit will cause you to prevail in the attack.
5. The most precious thing in the presence of the foe is ammunition. He who shoots uselessly, merely to comfort himself, is a man of straw who merits not the title of Parachutist.
6. Never surrender; to you death or victory must be a point of honour.
7. You can triumph only if your weapons are good. See to it that you submit yourself to this law - first my weapon and then myself.
8. You must grasp the full purpose of every enterprise, so that if your leader is killed you can fulfill it.
9. Against an open foe, fight with chivalry, but to a guerilla, extend no quarter.
10. Keep your eyes wide open. Tune yourself to the top most pitch. Be nimble as a greyhound, as tough as leather, as hard as Krupp steel and so you shall be the German warrior incarnate."

'Till Called Again
I’ve left my glass, and drank my share
Of the wine that's known as pride,
And walked among some gallant men
And matched them stride for stride.
I've crammed my mind with devious maps
To defeat the enemy's goal,
And kept inside for loyalty's sake,
The tales that can't be told.
The need is gone for my service now
I'll hang up my "Green Beret",
And sip no more, the wine of pride
'Till called again someday.
Of the wine that's known as pride,

The need is gone for my service now
I'll hang up my "Green Beret",
And sip no more, the wine of pride
