Interesting quote from T J Jackson. Wonder if it cuts both ways, or just one:

"War means fighting. The business of the soldier is to fight. Armies are not called out to dig trenches, to throw up breastworks, to live in camps, but to find the enemy and strike him; to invade his country, and do him all possible damage in the shortest possible time. This will involve great destruction of life and property while it lasts; but such a war will of necessity be of brief continuance, and so would be an economy of life and property in the end."

--Jackson

I can't help but think Jackson would've been somehow flattered that his enemies took his tenets to heart so thoroughly and implemented them so effectively.
