But so long as War exists as an Institution this terrible inconsistency must appear.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.

Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
