“When Green Beret Lieutenant James N. Rowe was captured in 1963 in Vietnam, his life became more than a matter of staying alive. In a Vietcong POW camp, Rowe endured beriberi, dysentery, and tropical fungus diseases. He suffered grueling psychological and physical torment. He experienced the loneliness and frustration of watching his friends die. And he struggled every day to maintain faith in himself as a soldier and in his country as it appeared to be turning against him. His survival is testimony to the disciplined human spirit. He was gunned down in Manila in 1989”

I am proud and privileged to make public the remarkable story of these hitherto hidden heroes and their veiled world of secret service to our nation. Your appreciation and thanks are worth more than all the medals and promotions we in CSE received. Never forget them. They didn’t just serve, their deeds made them heroes.”

“and me? Well. you know. my father happens to be a mentally handicapped homosexual who ran away from Russia in 98. But nothing happens in God's world by mistake. History teaches us, the United States does not go to war with countries that have any weapons of mass destruction. So my job here, while I am here, is to start fucking American women in the Ass, when the American military (bunch of cowards) decides to invade some little Arab or south american country. Just to make these dumb shits feel some pain, you know? That's what we've been doing the past 10 years. That's my job. I want to go home, Russia. But these retarded Americans just can't figure it out. so we keep fucking them in the ass. As much as possible. until they stop fucking up little countries that are just trying to get their shit together. Fuck off, America. this Freedom shit isn't working out, you know? it's not working out. I didn't even get any pussy in college.”

“Aimed at army units with no prior training, Manual for the Solution of Military Ciphers showed how to set up a quick-and-dirty deciphering office in the field with five or six soldiers, some radio equipment to intercept enemy signals, and a day or two of study. Hitt went over the basics of military cryptography and explained, accurately, that the methods of the world's armies had not changed much in hundreds of years. Just like there are millions of chicken recipes in the world but only several basic methods to cook the bird (roasting, frying, poaching, boiling), there are countless ciphers but only a handful of common types.”

“A friend of Diagoras pointed out an expensive display of votive gifts and said, 'You think the gods have no care for man? Why, you can see from all these votive pictures here how many people have escaped the fury of storms at sea by praying to the gods who have brought them safe to harbor.' To which Diagoras replied, 'Yes, indeed, but where are the pictures of all those who suffered shipwreck and perished in the waves?”
