We Are All But Instruments Of God.

War Means Fighting. The Business Of The Soldier Is To Fight. Armies Are Not Called Out To Dig Trenches, To Throw Up Breastworks, To Live In Camps, But To Find The Enemy And Strike Him; To Invade His Country, And Do Him All Possible Damage In The Shortest Possible Time. This Will Involve Great Destruction Of Life And Property While It Lasts; But Such A War Will Of Necessity Be Of Brief Continuance, And So Would Be An Economy Of Life And Property In The End.

The Hardships Of Forced Marches Are Often More Painful Than The Dangers Of Battle

Do Your Duty And Leave The Rest To Providence.
