Quote attributed to Patrick the first, the first American born Pope. Born John Fitzgerald Kennedy, he would serve in the European theater of World War 2, where the sites of the Holocaust would lead him down a path of self destructive hedonism. This would change in 1947, when he would collapse from alcohol poisoning, only to be taken to the hospital by a priest. This instance would reestablish Kennedys lost faith, and he would enter the priesthood, eventually becoming a cardinal. Kennedy would be voted Pope in 1978, a move criticized by many at the time for seemingly trying to appease the U.S., but these worries would largely subside as it became clear the new Popes policies seeking to mend relations with the intensely aetheistic governments of the communist world. Pope Patrick would die in 2009, having passed away in his sleep.
Lord George Washington, British Army, an infamous disciplinarian, harsh and inflexible. During the 1774-1786 War for the French Succession, he had to deal with several mutinies and attempted mutinies, in part because the British Ministry refused to properly fund Washington's armies fighting the war in the American Theater.

The Motto of the National Worker's Resistance Movement, after the Communist Party of Germany overthrew the Wiemar Republic. Formed out of the former Nazi party (which dropped the socialist part of the name as the communists took over), this fiercely anti-communist fifth column was ultimately critical in undermining the war efforts of the Moscow-Berlin Comintern Pact during the Second Great War (1938-1947), including most famously destroying massive oil and ammunition reserves in 1943 that stalled out a key German advance into Italy.
