"Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think he can respond with a great deal of pride and satisfaction ... I served in the U. S. Navy"
John F. Kennedy
To paraphrase John Stuart Mill's "The Contest In America" 1862
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things." "A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for ... is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
