yendi"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” -- General George Patton.
Why is it the quote of the day?
Because it came up twice already.
This morning, over breakfast, I read a few selections from our latest comics shipment, including the latest PVP. In that issue, a war has broken out between LARPers, Civil War reenactors, and Trekkies, and Cole gives a rousing speech that begins with that quote, and eventually morphs into a mutant version of the St. Crispin's Day speech.
Then, on the bus ride home, I finished![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala's most recent novel, Worldwired (more on that next week). Book three of that novel (which is really the epilogue -- I don't want to imply that I read a third of a novel on the way home) has that same quote as an epigraph.
So yeah. Quote of the day. Because I keep running into it.
