More From Ulysses S. Grant

If men make war in slavish observance of rules, they will fail. no rules will apply to conditions of war as different as those which exist in europe and america...war is progressive, because all the instruments and elements of war are progressive.

Never underrate the boss! the boss may look illiterate. he may look stupid. but there is no risk at all in overrating a boss. if you underrate him he will bitterly resent it or impute to you the deficiency in brains and knowledge you imputed to him.
Stupid Boss Risk
It seems to me an utterly futile task to prescribe rules and limitations for the conduct of war. war is not a game; hence one cannot wage war by rules as one would in playing games. our fight must be against war itself. the masses of people can most effectively fight the institution of war by establishing an organization for the absolute refusal of military service.

Senator mcgovern is very sincere when he says that he will try to cut the military budget by 30%. and this is to drive a knife in the heart of israel... jews don't like big military budgets. but it is now an interest of the jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the united states... american jews who care about the survival of the state of israel have to say, no, we don't want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend israel.
Powerful Military Heart
Japan suffered terribly from the atomic bomb but never adopted a pose of moral superiority, implying: 'we would never have done it!' the japanese know perfectly well they would have used it had they had it. they accept the idea that war is war; they give no quarter and accept none. total war, they recognize, knows no queensberry rules. if you develop a devastating new weapon during a total war, you use it; you do not put it into the war museum.

The use of our military in combat should first require declaration of war. i have long called for reinstating the military draft, simply because i believe strongly that a national decision to go to war must also include a broad commitment to share its burdens. whenever congress decides to fund a war or other u.s. combat activities, it must provide a means to pay for it-then and there-not later. if we don't have the will to fully share the burdens of war, then we have no right to send our sons and daughters into harm's way.
