Men since the beginning of time have sought peace.

Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door.

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.

Men since the beginning of time have sought peace...military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations, all in turn have failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war. The utter destructiveness of war not blots out this alternative.

While I was not consulted prior to the President's decision to intervene in support of the Republic of Korea, that decision from a military standpoint, proved a sound one, as we hurled back the invader and decimated his forces. Our victory was complete, and our objectives within reach, when Red China intervened with numerically superior ground forces.

It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.

If we will not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door.
