American Quote by Hal Needham
“'Megaforce' is a privately financed army of freedom fighters financed and manned by all the free countries of the world. We don't say the force is American-based, but it's obvious because they are driving Fords, encountering rattlesnakes and they ride a Continental Airlines plane. Also the landscape looks like the American desert.”

![“I might add how in the world can you say, or can anyone say, that it will dignify the American Negro to beg in or wade [?] in or plead in when the people in Hungary didn't beg in?

And they fought for their freedom.” quote by Malcolm X](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ddd/malcolm-x-213_add_i-might-add-how-in-the-world-can-you-say_1411838.jpg)
