I know that this operation will be sort of helter-skelter. But the First Marine Division is going to win the war by landing at Inchon.

I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.

In war, as it is waged now, with the enormous losses on both sides, both sides will lose. It is a form of mutual suicide.

Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.

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.
