Duty, then, is the sublimest word in the English Language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more. You should never wish to do less.

In every battle, there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten; then he who continues the attack wins.

John Stuart Mill
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
Brig. Gen Jeannie M. Leavitt,
Gender, race, religion, none of that matters. What matters is how you perform.

I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN. I AM A WARRIOR I HAVE ANSWERED MY NATION’S CALL. I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN. MY MISSION IS TO FLY, FIGHT AND WIN. I AM FAITHFUL TO A PROUD HERITAGE, A TRADITION OF HONOR, AND A LEGACY OF VALOR.

General Charles A. Gabriel, Chief of Staff
Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of our military strength, public trust, and self-respect are lost.
The Air Force Code of Conduct #3
If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
Air Man's Creed Verse #3 and #4
I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN, GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, MY NATION’S SWORD AND SHIELD, ITS SENTRY AND AVENGER. I DEFEND MY COUNTRY WITH MY LIFE. I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN: WINGMAN, LEADER, WARRIOR. I WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AIRMAN BEHIND, I WILL NEVER FALTER, AND I WILL NOT FAIL.
