Maybe all our presidents should review this speech before sending our troops in harms way. I especially like the following passage:

Quote:
On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."
