IRAQ VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR

“I shall never forget the feeling that came over me as I walked among the dead that afternoon. 'Surely, surely,' I said, 'there will never be another battle.' It seemed to me barbarous for men to try to settle any dispute or controversy by shooting one another, and, now that it had been realized what a battle meant, I felt sure there would never be another. But not so thought those both North and South who had not taken part in that first battle. And so there was no trouble in getting volunteers by the thousand from both sections, to take the places of those who had been killed.â€
- B. M. Zettler. Private, 8th Georgia Infantry, after the 1st Battle of Manassas, 1861
