WAR IS AN UGLY THING, BUT NOT THE UGLIEST OF THINGS. THE DECAYED AND DEGRADED STATE OF MORAL AND PATRIOTIC FEELING THAT THINKS NOTHING IS WORTH WAR IS MUCH WORSE.THE PERSON WHO HAS NOTHING FOR WHICH HE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR, NOTHING WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIS OWN PERSONAL SAFTEY IS A MISERABLE CREATURE AND HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING FREE UNLESS MADE AND KEPT SO BY THE EXERTIONS OF BETTER MEN THAN HIMSELF. -JOHN STUART MILL-Many times in battle, one might loose their mind, their lives, their souls. What makes them a Marine is that they entered combat knowing the price they might pay, and chose to enter it anyway.
