Oddly enough this hasn't been mentioned, I though it would be one of the first to be mentioned. In John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech, Kennedy came out with the infamous passage (I'm not even American and I know this by the way);
"Ask not, what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
So Mustaine twisted this to create one of the best lyrics in all of Thrash Metal, and my personal favourite;
"Don't ask what you can do for your country - ask what your country can do for you."
It's such an awesome, hard hitting line in it's fashion, perfect for the song and mentality of Thrash.
Take no prisoners, take no shit!
