Screw the company clock. The following is something i have and can't find an author for:
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which think 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.

Your quote is from
John Stuart Mill - (scroll down - about halfway down the page) -
"The Contest in America," pp. 208-09,
in John Stuart Mill, Dissertations and Discussions (Boston, 1867).

Well said. Then again, you don't see the patriotic fellow griping about the consequences of his actions, do you?
