"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."
President John F. Kennedy
"Battle is the ultimate to which the whole life's labor of a [Soldier] should be directed. He may live to age of retirement without seeing a battle; still, he must always be getting ready for it exactly as if he knew the hour of day it is to break upon him. And then, whether it comes early or late, he must be willing to fight - he must fight."
BG Charles F. Smith
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of mind that thinks nothing is worth fighting for is far worse."
John Stuart Mill
