Features: "Those who weep for me do not know me. Peace is my hell." The history of war is actually the history of the brave, though their number is small. It was not the Kingdom of Macedon that conquered the world, but Alexander; it was not Rome that destroyed Carthage, but Scipio; it was not the Allies that defeated France, but Marlborough; it was not the Roundheads that overthrew Charles I, but Cromwell. There is a truth in war: a soldier may be nothing, but a general is everything. A leader must be a good actor. The secret of success lies in persistently pursuing the spirit of the brave and tenaciously pursuing victory or glorious sacrifice. — General Patton
