War Quotes
-
American policy seems to be wed to a perpetual state of war. Why? History shows that the world will always be in flux or turmoil, with different peoples competing for visibility and power. The U.S. cannot fix the fate of every nation.

Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love?

Patrick Henry

Always remember: Business is War.
At the end of the day, the one with access to the best intel wins. This

That's why I started to write stories.
