" You know what they say about revenge: you better be ready to dig two graves. Once his face is revealed, we will write history, gentlemen." - Shepherd in a speech to Task Force 141 during the briefing of Loose Ends " Do you have the DSM? (.) Good, that's one less loose end." - Shepherd, when Ghost and Roach bring the DSM to the extraction point, seconds before he betrays and kills them. There's an evil man hiding in these shadows and we're gonna bring him into the light. Despite what the world may say, we are not savages, we don't kill civilians. And we're gonna use every cent of it killin' Makarov. It will cost nothing compared to everything you'll save." - Last speech of Shepherd to Joseph Allen " It's been a tough week, gentlemen. You don't want to know what it's cost to put you next to him. He's not loyal to a flag or country or any set of ideals. He doesn't flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. This man Makarov is fighting his own war and he has no rules. Yesterday you were a soldier on the front lines. It'll keep you alive." - Shepherd to Joseph Allen " The rest of Task Force 141 brought in the ACS, Allen. Let's get to work." - Shepherd discusses the military might of the United States, during the briefing of Team Player " Makarov's no prize. Sure it matters who's got the biggest stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. But we can give you the know-how to acquire it. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. Because what happens over here, matters over there. " We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Train them to fight alongside you and pray they don’t eventually decide to hate you for it, too." - Shepherd's speech during the introduction of S.S.D.D. Yesterday's enemies are today’s recruits. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him. History is written by the victor, and here I am, thinking we'd won. We fought and bled alongside the Russians we should've known they’d hate us for it. Boundaries shift, new players step in but power always finds a place to rest its head. " The more things change, the more they stay the same.
