“There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
If nominated, I will not run if elected, I will not serve.
I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.
