Our Military

I am not sure who said this, but I love what it says and want to share it with you.

"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

This is so good. It is a quote by John Stewart Mills....who also said "A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."

Whis is John Stewart Mill you ask?
John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873), British philosopher, political economist, civil servant and Member of Parliament, was an influential liberal thinker of the 19th century. He was an exponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham, although his conception of it was very different from Bentham's.
