You got responsibilities when you’re a leader. You got a responsibility not to kill too many of your men. Or who’re you going to lead?

There's a road to hell that is paved with good intentions but it's a long route. The quicker path is paved with the kind of ignorance that clever men who just don't want to know are best at.
