For example, following the Second Lebanon War of August 2006, opponents of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accused him of "Speaking loudly and carrying a small stick". Another use of this quote is in the RTS video game Dawn of War, where the Space Marine commander says "Walk softly, and carry a big gun".D. C.
