Our artillery... The Germans feared it almost more than anything we had.

But to the fighting soldier that phase of the war is behind. It was left behind after his first battle. His blood is up. He is fighting for his life, and killing now for him is as much a profession as writing is for me.

[I]nstead of the usual "Why can't we make movies more like real life?" I think a more pertinent question is "Why can't real life be more like the movies?"

One of the parodoxes of war is that those in the rear want to get up into the fight, while those in the lines want to get out.

If I can just see the European war out I think I might feel justified in quitting the war.

There is no sense in the struggle, but there is no choice but to struggle.
