Chuck Yeager to his wingman (or vice versa, can't remember) in WW2 after being given orders to strafe everything, including civilians, when coming back from escort missions - "Jesus, we had better win this!"

"Our seventy-five Mustangs were assigned an area of fifty miles by fifty miles inside Germany and ordered to strafe anything that moved.
