In December, 1942, Brigadier General Ira Eaker took command of the US Eighth Army Air Force in England. To mark that occasion, he gave a speech that went:
"We won't do much talking until we've done more fighting. After we've gone, we hope you'll be glad we came."
General Eaker was a man of extraordinary economy of speech.
