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 numbers are few. It was Alexander, not the Macedonian Kingdom, who conquered the world; it was Scipio, not Rome, who destroyed Carthage; it was Marlborough, not the Allies, who defeated France; it was Cromwell, not the Roundheads, who overthrew Charles I. 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 striving for victory or glorious sacrifice. — General Patton
