“Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.
One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.
Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
