Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace.
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
I don't underrate the value of military knowledge, but if men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.
Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true.
The one thing I never want to see again is a military parade. When I resigned from the army and went to a farm I was happy. When the rebellion came, I returned to the service because it was a duty. I had no thought of rank; all I did was try and make.
I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.
A military life had no charms for me, and I had not the faintest idea of staying in the army even if I should be graduated, which I did not expect.
