Infantry Quotations
By the last returns to the Department of War the militia force of the several States may be estimated at 800,000 men - infantry, artillery, and cavalry.
James Monroe
There had so lately been a large force of Spanish cavalry at the village, which had made a great impression on the minds of the young men, as to their power, consequence, which my appearance with 20 infantry was by no means calculated to remove.
Zebulon Pike
On my left the shooting had the sharp explosion of the infantry artillery, on my right could be heard the sporadic cannon shots thundering from the front, and up above the sky was clear and the sun bright.
Max Beckmann
I think of myself as Special Forces, clearing the path for the infantry.
Geraldo Rivera

Walter Kohn

Giraldus Cambrensis
I am in the infantry for 17 weeks and after that I don't know where I am going.
Eddie Slovik
Of course, I also attribute some of my hearing loss to being in the infantry in World War II. It's probably a combination of heredity and noise exposure.
