I dug these famous sayings up from the web hope you like them :D

"Come on you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?"
Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, 4 june 1918.
Leading Marines at Belleus Wood.
Dan Daly served with Marine Fourth Brigade in WW2.
Daly is one of the great legends of the Marines

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
- General George Patton Jr

"Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of War."
- William Shakespeare ("Julius Caesar")

Heres one for you Joe for the artillerymen :D
I do like the first part of this as it could apply to any soldier.

A Toast to the Guns
By them we live,
For them we would die.
Whatever the Mission,
We'll give it a try.

We'll serve them with Honor
For they are the ones;
That make us Artillerymen,
So here's to the Guns:
TO THE GUNS!!
- Unknown

The Soldiers Prayer
"And When He Gets To Heaven,
To Saint Peter He Will Tell;
One More Marine Reporting Sir,
I've Served My Time In Hell"
- Marine Grave inscription on Guadalcanal, 1942

I think "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out!" is para-phrased , slovenly, from a 13th Century Abbot - Abbot Arnold Aimery. He was laying seige to a town in northern France populated by Cathars.

"Kill them all! God will recogonise his own."

Then there's the unknown US Colonel * on Omaha Beach, rallying the troops:

"Only two types of people are staying on this beach-
the dead and those who are about to die.
Now let's get the hell out of here!"

* played by Robert Mitchum in "The Longest Day"

Incidentally, "The Longest Day" features 2 CoD maps as I far as I can tell:
"Dawnville" - St. Mere Eglise and "Pegasus Bridge".
"Chateau" is from "The Dirty Dozen"
"Carentan" from "Band of Brothers"
Russian maps from "Enemy at the Gates" ?

Any more "film tie-ins" :?:
