Who is the author?

I remember reading a quote from a rather well known author (circa 1900-1940????), and it's been stuck in my head for the last couple of days. Besides it's a pretty outstanding quote and rather appropriate for the times."When left to die on Afghanistan's plains, and their women come to rip up your remains, just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains, and go to your gawd like a soldier."
