“All American wars (except the Civil War) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the Americans. In the history of armed combat such affairs as the Mexican and Spanish-American Wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. In the two World Wars, no American faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others.” WorldYearsHas BeensTwoWarFightingPeaceAffairFavorsWar Of The WorldsCivil WarOrganizedCombatOddsWornBulletsMexicanAdversariesAssassinationTwo WorldsAmerican WarSpanish American War Author:H.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” WorldWayChildrenMadeWarPoliticalHumanityPoliticsPeacePresidentPovertyMilitaryThis WorldArmsColdGeniusConflictGunCrossesScientistFinalsHungerCloudsSpendingWar Of The WorldsIronFedsSweatAntiwarCold WarTheftRocketsVietnam WarGreat WarLaborersHanging OnMake Peace Not WarFree GovernmentArmamentEnding PovertyGovernment SpendingSpending MoneyWorld HungerUs PresidentPeace Not WarJust WarWorld PovertyCost Of WarMilitary SoldierWar On PovertyHunger And PovertyHunger PovertyGlobal PovertyGreatest MilitaryMilitary BudgetPolitics And WarMilitary SpendingCold WorldMilitary LifeWarshipsDefense SpendingPowerful GovernmentMilitary Weapons Author:Dwight D.
