Snappy slogans
This Guardian article from a couple of years back includes the mottos of various "special forces" from around the world, such as:
* the SAS: "Who dares wins"
* Delta Force: "Nightstalkers don't quit"

"No one sees them coming, no one knows that they're there. And when their mission is completed they leave no proof that they were ever there!"
Ah well, perhaps it works better in German...
