Rode the 600

French Marshal Pierre Bosquet, "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre." ("It is magnificent, but it is not war.") Rarely quoted, but he continued: "C'est de la folie"- "it is madness."


To me, war continues as man's greatest moment, or man's greatest folly. Maybe it depends on whether you are a general or a private.
