Definition
Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.
Term
John Stuart Mill
Definition
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person, who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
Term
General Charles A. Gabriel, Chief of Staff, USAF
Definition
Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of our military strength, public trust, and self-respect are lost.
Term
Father Denis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Definition
It is the solider, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the solider, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the solider, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the solider who salutes the flag, who serves, beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
Term
Alfred Thayer Mahan
Definition
War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggressively. The enemy must not be fended off; but smitten down. You may then spare him every exaction, relinquish every gain, but 'til then he must be struck incessantly and remorselessly.
Term
General George S. Patton, Jr., USA
Definition
There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.

The Air Force Song First Verse

Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high in the sun; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At'em boys, Give'er the gun! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one hellavaroar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
Term
The Air Force Song Second Verse
Definition
Minds of men fashioned to crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world asunder; How they lived God only knew! Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings, ever to soar! With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey! Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
Term
The Air Force Song Third Verse
Definition
Here's a toast to the host Of those who love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send the message of his brother men who fly. We drink to those who gave their all of old, Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold. A toast to the host of men we boast, the US Air Force!
Term

Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true; If you live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep your nose out of the blue! Flying men, guarding our nation's border, We'll be there, followed by more! In echelon we carry on. Hey! Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
Term
The Airman's Creed
Definition
I am an American Airman. I am a Warrior. I have answered my nation's call. I am an American Airman. My mission is to fly, fight, and win. I am faithful to a proud heritage, a tradition of honor, and a legacy of valor. I am an American Airman, Guardian of freedom and justice, My nation's sword and shield, Its sentry and avenger. I defend my country with my life. I am an American Airman: Wingman, Leader, Warrior. I will never leave an Airman behind. I will never falter, and I will not fail.
