Quote #11 on Political Struggle Quotes >> War and Military Aristocracy
“The young officers who had come back, hardened by their terrible experience and disgusted by the attitude of the younger generation to whom this experience meant just nothing, used to lecture us for our softness. Of course they could produce no argument that we were capable of understanding. They could only bark at you that war was "a good thing", it "made you tough", "kept you fit", etc. etc.”
