Success is taken from the hands of the weak because war does not determine who is right - only who is left.

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.


Both of these are true and I know from personal experience with war. All soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen who have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan know this to be true cause they have lived it as I and so many others have.
