Never Give An Order That Can't Be

In War, When A Commander Becomes So Bereft Of Reason And Perspective That He Fails To Understand The Dependence Of Arms On Divine Guidance, He No Longer Deserves Victory.

There Are Some Who, For Varying Reasons, Would Appease Red China. They Are Blind To History's Clear Lesson, For History Teaches With Unmistakable Emphasis That Appeasement But Begets New And Bloodier War. It Points To No Single Instance Where This End Has Justified That Means, Where Appeasement Has Led To More Than A Sham Peace. Like Blackmail, It Lays The Basis For New And Successively Greater Demands Until, As In Blackmail, Violence Becomes The Only Other Alternative.

Even When Opportunity Knocks, A Man Still Has To Get Up Off His Seat And Open The Door.

We Are Bound No Longer By The Straitjacket Of The Past And Nowhere Is The Change Greater Than In Our Profession Of Arms. What, You May Well Ask, Will Be The End Of All Of This? I Would Not Know! But I Would Hope That Our Beloved Country Will Drink Deep From The Chalice Of Courage.

We Must Offer The World Leadership Designed To Advance The Goal Of Universal Progress And Enduring Peace.
