On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

I never had much respect for Gen. MacArthur. Never will.

In MacArthur's time, football was considered barbaric. Proper martial "sports" were horsemanship, fencing, and marksmanship.

Post-modern culture has conflated "games" with "sports."
