My Religious Belief Teaches Me To Feel

Sir! Men Who Desert Their Comrades In War Deserve To Be Shot! And Officers Who Intrude For Them Deserve To Be Hung!

My Religious Belief Teaches Me To Feel As Safe In Battle As In Bed. God Has Fixed The Time For My Death. I Do Not Concern Myself About That, But To Be Always Ready, No Matter When It May Overtake Me.

Shoot The Brave Officers, And The Cowards Will Run Away And Take The Men With Them.

My Duty Is To Obey Orders.

War Means Fighting. The Business Of The Soldier Is To Fight. Armies Are Not Called Out To Dig Trenches, To Throw Up Breastworks, To Live In Camps, But To Find The Enemy And Strike Him; To Invade His Country, And Do Him All Possible Damage In The Shortest Possible Time. This Will Involve Great Destruction Of Life And Property While It Lasts; But Such A War Will Of Necessity Be Of Brief Continuance, And So Would Be An Economy Of Life And Property In The End.
