There is no officer listening to me who did not see cruelties in the Civil War.
It is upheld and maintained today, as it always has been, by the patriotism of our people as represented by our Army in the Civil War, in Cuba, the Philippines, and China.
The national honor never has, never can, and never will be protected by such methods.
