“I am convinced that much more emphasis should be

how human beings react when exposed to the danger of
wounds or death...” General George S. Patton, Jr.

“A man’s greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him,
to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they
cherished in tears, to ride their horses, to hold their wives. I forbid you to show mercy to my enemies. Leave
nothing but uninhabited ruins, neither a cat nor a dog.”
Genghis Khan
