This Is A Hell Of A Way

Discipline Can Only Be Obtained When All The Officers Are Imbued With The Sense Of Their Awful Obligation To Their Men And To Their Country That They Cannot Tolerate Negligence. Officers Who Fail To Correct Errors Or To Praise Excellence Are Valueless In Peace And Dangerous Misfits In War.

No Sane Man Is Unafraid In Battle, But Discipline Produces In Him A Form Of Vicarious Courage.

For Over A Thousand Years Roman Conquerors Returning From The Wars Enjoyed The Honor Of Triumph, A Tumultuous Parade. In The Procession Came Trumpeteers, Musicians And Strange Animals From Conquered Territories, Together With Carts Laden With Treasure And Captured Armaments. The Conquerors Rode In A Triumphal Chariot, The Dazed Prisoners Walking In Chains Before Him. Sometimes His Children Robed In White Stood With Him In The Chariot Or Rode The Trace Horses. A Slave Stood Behind The Conqueror Holding A Golden Crown And Whispering In His Ear A Warning: That All Glory Is Fleeting.

Live For Something Rather Than Die For Nothing.

If I Win I Can't Be Stopped! If I Lose I Shall Be Dead.
