Quote from History

Even then... look where it's gone: "The legislative department is everywhere extending the sphere of its activity and drawing all power into its impetuous vortex." --James Madison, Federalist No. 48

[Ironic-Mike]

"The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army, is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it."

Gen George Washington

General Orders, Headquarters 1776

How far we have fallen.

No kidding.

When the Army tried to teach me how to ski in Asiago, I wound up using language that would make The Heathen blush. I swear that the Adriatic Ocean eventually became a bluer blue after the snow melted.

[lz_NorthPole]

Politicians start Wars for Political Reasons; Warriors directed by the politician fight these wars. Some Warriors Die for their cause, some are crippled and physically maimed for life, some scars of war cannot be seen with the eye, and all are changed for Life. In War there are no unwounded warriors.
