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

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

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

WE HAVE HAD OUR LAST CHANCE. THE PROBLEM NOW IS BASICALLY THEOLOGICAL, AND INVOLVES SPIRITUALITY AND IMPROVEMENT OF human CHARACTER. IT MUST BE OF THE SPIRIT IF WE ARE TO SAVE THE FLESH.

I came through and I shall return.

The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

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.
