	Another fairly famous military quote:  Smedley Butler,
	a marine commander in France in WWI, allegedly exhorted
	his men into battle* once with "Come on you !  Do
	you want to live forever?"  (Smedley was the kind of
	guy who lead by example.)

	*I can't remember the details of which battle, but a recent 
	issue of Smithsonian magazine has this quote, as well as 
	other details of Butler's colorful career.
