“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
 
~ John Stuart Mill, 19th-century libertarian philosopher

For those of us who are eternally grateful for the unselfish sacrifice of our warriors ~
