Winstone Churhill said the 2nd one: "Young man, you did a very fine thing to give up a most promising career to fight for your country. Mark you had you not done so, it would have been despicable"

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The degraded and decayed 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 that is more important than his own safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free, unless made so and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
