- Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.

- When you were kids you all admired the champion marble-shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ballplayers, the toughest boxers.

- Americans love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time.

- I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.

- That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
