I Will Not Accept If

Some Of You Young Men Think That War Is All Glamour And Glory, But Let Me Tell You, Boys, It Is All Hell!

I Knew Wherever I Was That You Thought Of Me, And If I Got In A Tight Place You Would Come-if Alive.

I Make Up My Opinions From Facts And Reasoning, And Not To Suit Any Body But Myself. If People Don't Like My Opinions, It Makes Little Difference As I Don't Solicit Their Opinions Or Votes.

I See Every Chance Of A Long, Confused And Disorganizing Civil War, And I Feel No Desire To Take A Hand Therein.

If I Had My Choice I Would Kill Every Reporter In The World, But I Am Sure We Would Be Getting Reports From Hell Before Breakfast.
