Quotes
Give me your planes. I’ll give you my baskets.
Upon being asked ”Aren’t you ashamed to place bombs in the baskets of your women?” by Marcel Bigeard. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/weekly-standard/the-consummate-warrior The Consummate Warrior Washington Examiner https://web.archive.org/web/20220317094604/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/weekly-standard/the-consummate-warrior 17 March 2022 dead
Misattributed
Isn’t it even more cowardly to attack defenseless villages with napalm bombs that kill many thousands of times more? Obviously, planes would make things easier for us. Give us your bombers, sir, and you can have our baskets.
Actually said in The Battle of Algiers (film) as an adaptation of the real quote.
