QUIZ: "Quote by famous US Military leader, or a celebrity?"

2014-09-28T17:58:26-04:00

Our first quiz was taken 7,500+ times in less than 3 days, so I made another one! This one's a bit more fun...less regs and more to test your instincts. Here's a tip: before you make your choice, stop and think whether I am trying to fool you (like in the Vietnamese EOD question from Quiz #1)!

In this quiz, your challenge is to determine whether these quotes (some of them famous) came from a well-known US Military leader, or some celebrity.

Here's the link: https://www.rallypoint.com/static_pages/rallypoint-quiz-Military-Leader

Have fun, and list your score here in the thread again!

YES! Got 'em all (Rock Star)! Hopefully that will make up for my less than stellar score on the last quiz! Definitely some toughies in that batch, though! Pretty tricky!

Woohoo, 6/10, had to make guesses on many.. Of course, a quiz that involves anything that Justin Beeber says is irrelevant.

CPT Aaron Kletzing General Norman Schwartzkopf but not for a quote as much as the general nature of pride in the military. Desert Shield was a sign of things to come but invariably the pendulum goes both ways. I will appreciate the sense of honor in serving rather than the guttersnipes that provoke military members when I was a kid.

9, but one of them is a trick question that was given as an incorrect answer....Bill Clinton was technically a military leader. As President, he was the Commander and Chief of our armed forces.

The quote by Clinton in your quiz the right answer should be military leader, every president I know was commander and chief thus making him a military leader….

"Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare
yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue
and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your
subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of
voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to
hide."
- Field Marshall Erwin Rommel
