• "Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you’re not a good soldier." - Curtis LeMay

• "Soldiers willingly, sometimes foolishly, risk their own lives to keep their comrades out of enemy hands." - Alex Berenson

• "Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives." - Siegfried Sassoon

• "Soldiers are men…most apt for all manner of services and best able to support and endure the infinite toils and continual hazards of war." - Henry Knyvett

• "The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue." - Napoleon Bonaparte

• "A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers." - Norman Schwarzkopf

• "Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace." - Ulysses S. Grant

• "There is no one who loves peace more than a soldier." - Philippa Gregory

• "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." - Douglas MacArthur

• "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

• "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." - G.K. Chesterton

• "We must never forget why we have and why we need our military. Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have ‘guardians at the gate.’" - Allen West

• "Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right." - G. K. Chesterton

• "The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment." - Judd Gregg

• "There was never a good war or a bad peace." - Ben Franklin 

• "No one hates war like a soldier hates war." - Tommy Franks

• "A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom." - Bob Dylan

• "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." - Joseph Campbell

• "We, Veteran’s for Peace, view peace as a positively active and creative process which requires courage, commitment, endurance, vigilance, and integrity. Peace is a struggle toward unity, and it is characterized by an absence of violence in all its forms, including discrimination based on gender, age, race, religion, social and economic status, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Those who labor for peace are called peacemakers because they tirelessly pursue nonviolent solutions, work for economic and social justice, celebrate diversity, and strive to build relationships between adversaries through education, conflict mediation, and humanitarian relief. We recognize that peace is both a means and end simultaneously, and that it is never finally or fully achieved. This is because change and growth require some degree of tension or conflict. Historically, such conflict has provided the impetus for military solutions. Thus we, Veteran’s for Peace, strongly believe that the greatest obstacle to peace is militarism with its reliance on violence and war. We further believe that peacekeeping action should only be accomplished by a legitimate international body." - Committee to Define Peace, Veterans for Peace

• "Freedom is not Free." - Korean War Veterans Memorial

Ronald Reagan: Quotes on Democracy, Freedom, and Leadership

This collection features Ronald Reagan’s powerful quotes on democracy, freedom, and leadership, highlighting his enduring influence and ideals.

⊙ Quote of the Day: Reagan's Wit, A Communist vs. an Anti-Communist

How do you tell a Communist? 

Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. 

And how do you tell an anti-Communist? 

It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

- Ronald Reagan : United States. President (1981-1989) -

This quote is attributed to Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, who expressed his humorous and critical views on the understanding of communism and anti-communism. Reagan served as President of the United States from 1981 to 1989, and his political philosophy centered on anti-communism during the Cold War against communist countries, including the Soviet Union. President Reagan often used humor and anecdotes in his speeches, and this quote is a prime example of his wit and political commentary.

Reagan's understanding of communism and anti-communism:

• Communists: Reagan implies that a person who merely reads the works of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, the founders of communism, is exposed to the ideology but may only have a superficial understanding of it, thus identifying as a communist.
• Anti-Communists: On the other hand, Reagan suggests that a person who truly understands the ideas of Marx and Lenin is more likely to be an anti-communist, as they recognize the inherent flaws and dangers of the communist system.

Through this quote, Reagan highlights the distinction between simply reading about communism and genuinely understanding it. He argues that a deep comprehension of communist ideology naturally leads to opposition, not support. In essence, Reagan is saying that communism may seem appealing in theory, but those who fully grasp its principles often become anti-communists because they recognize its failure in practice. By framing the quote in this way, Reagan is emphasizing that it’s not enough to study communism academically; one must understand its real-world implications to truly oppose it.

From foresight to legacy: The Pacific War in quotes

Hear the voices of those who lived through the Pacific War. From predictions of conflict to the eventual surrender, these quotes offer a glimpse into the human cost of war. Let's reflect on the lessons of history and strive for lasting peace.

⊙ From Prophecy to Apocalypse: Historical Quotes About the Pacific War and Its Aftermath

August 15, 1945, marks the day Japan declared its surrender in World War II (Pacific War), signaling the complete end of the war for the United States and its allies, as well as the end of Japanese occupation in Korea and Southeast Asia. In South Korea, this day is celebrated as "National Liberation Day" because "Liberation" means "regaining lost sovereignty." As we revisit quotes related to the beginning and end of the Pacific War between Japan and the United States—from Syngman Rhee (First President of South Korea)'s prediction of the conflict, to President Roosevelt's wartime speeches, to General MacArthur's September 2, 1945 address marking the war's end—we reflect with a sense of urgency on the hope for a war-free and peaceful Northeast Asia, especially in light of the recent dangers of renewed conflict. May history not repeat itself.

• "It is Japan's heaven-given opportunity to attempt another big jump in her territorial expansion. While Russia is preoccupied in her life and death struggle with the Nazi invaders, Japan will start her march of conquest in either of two directions. She may either withdraw her troops from along the Siberian frontier and combine all her forces in a South Pacific push, or march into Siberia and occupy the vast territory east of the Ural ranges. In comparison, the southward move is more tempting because the British, French, and Dutch colonies produce more of the strategic war materials of which Japan is in such need. But it also involves more risk of war with the United States." - Syngman Rhee(The first president of South Korea), Japan Inside Out - The Challenge of Today(June 1941)

• "It has been my task to present the case of Korea as an example to show that she is a victim -the first- of Japan's lust for power. Her destiny cannot be separated from that of the free peoples of the world, nor from the lot of those peoples who once knew freedom and have lost it for a while. At long last -perhaps sooner than we dare to hope- the democratic forces of the world will thrust the Japanese back on their islands, and peace will reign again in the Pacific. In that day, Korea will rejoin the ranks of the free and again become known as the Land of the Morning Calm." - Syngman Rhee(The first president of South Korea), Japan Inside Out - The Challenge of Today(June 1941)

• "Tora! Tora! Tora!" - The Japanese signal to attack, Pearl Harbor Air Raid(December 7, 1941)

• "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt

• "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

• "We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt, December 29, 1940

• “It was close; but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die — and the difference is just an eyelash.” - General Douglas MacArthur

• "Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT....With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces....It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East....Having found the bomb we have used it. We have used it against those who attacked us without warning at Pearl Harbor, against those who have starved and beaten and executed American prisoners of war, against those who have abandoned all pretense of obeying international laws of warfare. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan’s power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us." - President Harry S Truman's announcement to the American public on August 6, 1945, following the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan (August 6, 1945).

• "You think of the lives which would have been lost in an invasion of Japan’s main islands — a staggering number of Americans, but millions more of Japanese — and you thank God for the atomic bomb." - Comment of one Marine in the Pacific

• "The atomic bomb was a golden opportunity given by heaven for Japan to end the war." - Hisatsune Sakomizu, the chief cabinet secretary(1945)

• "Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain death--the seas bear only commerce--men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight. The entire world is quietly at peace . . . And in reporting this to you, the people, I speak for the thousands of silent lips, forever stilled among the jungles and the beaches and in the deep waters of the Pacific which marked the way . . . A new era is upon us. Even the lesson of victory itself brings with it profound concern, both for our future security and the survival of civilization. The destructiveness of the war potential, through progressive advances in scientific discovery, has in fact now reached a point which revises the traditional concepts of war . . . We have had our last chance. If we do not now devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door . . . My fellow countrymen, today I report to you that your sons and daughters have served you well and faithfully with the calm, deliberate, determined fighting spirit of the American soldier and sailor . . . Their spiritual strength and power has brought us through to victory. They are homeward bound - take care of them." - General Douglas MacArthur, from radio broadcast to the US from the USS Missouri after accepting the Japanese surrender that ended World War II on September 2, 1945

• "The liberation of any nation begins in the mind of the people." - Henry Johnson Jr
