In War There Is No Substitute For

This Does Not Mean That You Are Warmongers. 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.

Many Will Tell You With Mockery And Ridicule That The Abolition Of War Can Only Be A Dream . . . But We Must Go On Or We Will All Go Under. And The Great Criticism That Can Be Made Is That The World Lacks A Plan That Will Enable Us To Go On . . . We Must Have Sufficient Imagination And Courage To Translate The Universal Wish For Peace - Which Is Rapidly Becoming A Universal Necessity - Into Actuality.

The Soldier, Above All Other Men, Is Required To Perform The Highest Act Of Religious Offering-sacrifice. In Battle And In The Face Of Danger And Death He Discloses Those Divine Attributes Which His Amke Gave When He Created In His Own Image. No Physical Courage And No Brute Instincts Can Take The Place Of The Divine Annunciation And Spiritual Gift Which Will Alone Sustain Him.

The Untruthful Soldier Trifles With The Lives Of His Countrymen And The Honor And Safety Of His Country.

Global War Has Become Frankenstein's Monster, Threatening To Destroy Both Sides.
