War




 I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.
  General Douglas MacArthur

  Eleanor Roosevelt

 I consider even a victorious war as an evil, from which statesmanship must endeavor to spare nations
  Otto von Bismarck

 I do not approve the extermination of the enemy; the policy of exterminating or, as it is barbarously said, liquidating enemies, is one of the most alarming developments of modern war and peace, from the point of view of those who desire the survival
  T.S. Eliot

 I don't object to its being called "McNamara's war." I think it is a very important war and I am pleased to be identified with it and do whatever I can to win it.

 "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.

 I intend to make Georgia howl."
  William Tecumseh Sherman

  Colin Powell

 I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.

 I return with feelings of misgiving from my third war-I was the first American commander to put his signature to a paper ending a war when we did not win it.

 I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.
  General George S. Patton

 I-I am going to be a storm-a flame-
I need to fight whole armies alone;
I have ten hearts; I have a hundred arms;
I feel too strong to war with mortals-
BRING ME GIANTS!

 Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind. Individuals, and not masses, form the culture of the race.
  L. Ron Hubbard

 If America can go to the moon, then in the decades to come we should not ever have to have young Americans sent to any part of the world to defend and die for America's gluttony on fossil fuel.
  Senator John Kerry
