“I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers […] it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated […] that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. […] I declare before God, as a man and a soldier, I will not strike a foe who stands unarmed and submissive before me, but would rather say—‘Go, and sin no more.’” - some guy before lighting Atlanta on fire
"We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women and children."
Yes, and he did terrible things to Jewish businesses on his way through. I’m not saying he was close to being a good human, but his philosophy on war in general is too powerful to ignore.
Nah. That one quote is nice, but in general his philosophy on war was "kill everyone and destroy everything in front of you without reservation, and enjoy yourself while doing it".
