Optimism Is Denial, So Face The Facts

A Better World Shall Emerge Based On Faith And Understanding.

While No Man In His Right Mind Would Advocate Sending Our Ground Forces Into Continental China, And Such Was Never Given A Thought, The New Situation Did Urgently Demand A Drastic Revision Of Strategic Planning If Our Political Aim Was To Defeat This New Enemy As We Had Defeated The Old.

I Know War As Few Other Men Now Living Know It, And Nothing To Me Is More Revolting. I Have Long Advocated Its Complete Abolition, As Its Very Destructiveness On Both Friend And Foe Has Rendered It Useless As A Means Of Settling International Disputes... But Once War Is Forced Upon Us, There Is No Other Alternative Than To Apply Every Available Means To Bring It To A Swift End.

Beware Not The Enemy From 'without' But The Enemy From 'within'.

I Can Recall No Parallel In History Where A Great Nation Recently At War Has So Distinguished Its Former Enemy Commander.
