: hello all. does anyone know to whom the following phrase is attributed? I will
misquote it yet it goes something like " we the unwilling, lead by the unknowing,
do the impossible for the ungrateful"! it apparently was written on a latrine
in vietnam during that particular war. it sums it up quite nicely given hindsight.
help me out if you can. email markcain@hotmail.com thanks
At www.brainyquote.com
that saying is attributed to Mother Teresa:

Another site says it was the unofficial motto of the U.S. Marine Corps
during the Vietnam war.You can search further by typing these words:
unwilling
unknowing impossible ungrateful
into Google, checking what comes up, and evaluating
how reliable each source is.
