A LESSON TO NEVER FORGET & PASS ON TO YOUR POSTERITY:

"War is a horrifying business. We ought never to enter into hostilities without careful deliberation and a clear-eyed appraisal of other options. War is not logical, precise, antiseptic, or predictable. Very good men and women die and are maimed. Innocents who simply have the misfortune to be caught in the crossfire are victimized.

Once war begins, however, there can be only one objective. There is no time for sentiment or half measures. It is the job of the U.S. military once the fighting has begun to kill people and break things. If that sounds harsh it is. It is ugly and nasty and indispensable.

The enemy is there to kill you. The enemy is there to win. You either destroy him and dictate terms or you lose."
