“What a general could do, Thomas did; no more dependable soldier for a moment of crisis existed on the North American continent, or ever did exist... Thomas comes down in history as the Rock of Chickamauga, the great defensive fighter, the man who could never be driven away but who was not much on the offensive. That may be a correct appraisal, Yet it may also be worth making note that just twice in all the war was a major Confederate army driven away from a prepared position in complete rout - at Chattanooga and at Nashville. Each time the blow that routed it was launched by Thomas.” MenMayWarMomentsHistoryRocksPositionHe ManMajorsArmyCrisisNotesPreparedSoldierBlowDrivenFighterCivil WarContinentsOffensiveAmerican Civil WarNashvilleConfederateDependableAppraisal Author:Bruce Catton

“I think, while it is true that the Hillary Clinton and I voted differently on the war in Iraq, what is important is that we learn the lesson of the war in Iraq. And that lesson is intrinsic to my foreign policy if elected president, is the United States cannot do it alone. We cannot be the policeman of the world. We are now spending more I believe than the next eight countries on defense. We have got to work in strong coalition with the major powers of the world and with those Muslim countries that are prepared to stand up and take on terrorism.” IfsThinkingWorldBelieveImportantWarCountryStatesNextStrongI BelievePresidentUnitedUnited StatesPolicyLessonsMajorsPreparedClintonIraqEightTerrorismSpendingDefenseForeign PolicyPolicemenCoalitions Author:Bernie Sanders
