"War: First day in the U.S. Army, the government placed a Bible in my left hand, a bayonet in the other."

The General Order is always: ......To manoeuver in a body and on the attack. ......To maintain strict but not pettifogging discipline. ......To keep the troops constantly at the ready. ......To employ the utmost vigilance on sentry go. ......To use the bayonet on every possible occasion. And to follow up the enemy remorselessly until he is utterly destroyed.
