As to war, I am and always was a great enemy, at the same time a warrior the greater part of my life and were I young again, should still be a warrior while ever this country should be invaded and I lived.

My wish for you, Kallistos, is that you survive as many battles in the flesh as you have already fought in your imagination. Perhaps then you will acquire the humility of a man and bear yourself no longer as the demigod you presume yourself to be.

A defensive war I think a righteousness war and justifiable in the sight of God.

No one goes unaffected by the aftereffects of war. How we embrace this truth shall determine our path into the future.

I am a warrior, this is war, this is a battle,

Whatever the challenge, never quit, never give up, never surrender.
