"It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it." ― George McGovern Topic(s): War More From George McGovern "The Establishment center… has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster – a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation." "You know, sometimes, when they say you’re ahead of your time, it’s just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing." "I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth." More In War "But the war on terror as I have repeatedly said in the past, and the Afghan people believe in it, in truth, is that the war on terror is not in the Afghan villages or homes. Its in the sanctuaries, it is in the training grounds, its in the motivation factors and the money that comes to it."― Hamid Karzai "Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!"― Helen Keller "I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war."― Norman Schwarzkopf
