Matthew B Ridgway, fully Matthew Bunker Ridgway

Only effective and inspired leadership will carry units to victory in that arduous and finally determining aspect of warfare -- ground combat.

Every mission accomplished.

No ground gained was ever relinquished.

In setting our military goals we need first of all to recognize that most of the world’s most basic woes do not lend themselves to purely military solutions.

Physical courage is never in short supply in a fighting army. Moral courage sometimes is.
