War is Hell...

The quote, "war is Hell," is taken from a longer quote by William Tecumseh Sherman that's pretty anti-war if you ask me. Anyone who uses it in a manner that seems to mean, "we need to toughen up for difficult times ahead needs to be yeeted into the Sun."

""I’ve been where you are now and I know just how you feel. It’s entirely natural that there should beat in the breast of every one of you a hope and desire that some day you can use the skill you have acquired here.

Suppress it! You don’t know the horrible aspects of war. I’ve been through two wars and I know. I’ve seen cities and homes in ashes. I’ve seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you, war is Hell!" - Michigan Military Academy, June 19, 1879
