I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.
George Armstrong Custer Quotes
You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.
