The biggest problem was the politicians knew nothing about fighting a war.

Those who have experienced the most, have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience, and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

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.

There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.
