Yes, you’re right. I LOVE this quote, I got it off a Free Republic article the other day. “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded 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 which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill, English economist and philosopher (1806-1873) Apparently still true today. Pass it on. God bless our troops!
All I can say is...WOW!!!!
My son used that quote next to his senior pic in his HS yearbook 4 years ago. He just graduated from VMI...now a 2nd Lt. in the Army.
Brilliant. Just Brilliant. I’ve been looking for a quote like that.
