The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

“War against men are known to fewer and fewer of us. Mandatory conscription for the Vietnam War ended the year before I was born. Since then, the United States has effectively created a class of professional contract soldiers who do the government's fighting in faraway lands.
