3 December 2020 Daniel Boone May the same Almighty Goodness banish the accursed monster, war, from all lands, with her hated associates, rapine and insatiable ambition!
3 December 2020 Barry Goldwater I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.
3 December 2020 Marshall McLuhan Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America – not on the battlefields of Vietnam.
3 December 2020 Benito Mussolini War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace.
3 December 2020 Will Rogers Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it… You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
3 December 2020 Nancy Pelosi I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget, probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less.
3 December 2020 Jon Meacham Here is a pretty good rule of thumb for Democratic Presidents: if it didn’t work for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won four terms and a World War, it probably won’t work for you either.
3 December 2020 Karl Kraus How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

3 December 2020 Nancy Pelosi The president led us into the Iraq war on the basis of unproven assertions without evidence he embraced a radical doctrine of pre-emptive war unprecedented in our history and he failed to build a true international coalition.
3 December 2020 John Stuart Mill 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.
3 December 2020 Lyndon B. Johnson This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
3 December 2020 George Bernard Shaw The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
3 December 2020 Wendell Willkie Emancipation came to the colored race in America as a war measure. It was an act of military necessity. Manifestly it would have come without war, in the slower process of humanitarian reform and social enlightenment.
3 December 2020 Antonia Fraser I think there’s a tremendous split between people who’ve been through a war and people who haven’t.
3 December 2020 George S. Patton No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

3 December 2020 William Tecumseh Sherman There’s many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.
