There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.
Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.
