War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent. I am attacking.

One of the serious problems in planning the fight against American doctrine, is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine...
