Quotes About Foxhole

Finally, in more serious situations, man humor confronts fear and prepares the heart for action. It's a tool for dealing with danger, quieting panic, and calling comrades to prepare to charge. Call it gallows humor. Call it foxhole humor. Wherever it happens, it is how men use the sometimes crass but always funny comment to force a laugh and encourage their brothers-in-arms.
~ Stephen Mansfield
When you thought of permanent oblivion, temporary oblivion was the only foxhole you had.
~ Harry Turtledove
