The marvelous part of this infernal enterprise is that
every murderer's chief has his flags blessed, and
solemnly invokes the Lord before he goes out to
exterminate his neighbors .... Moral philosophers, burn
all your books. As long as thousands of our brothers
are honestly butchered at the caprice of some men, the
part of mankind consecrated to heroism will be the
most horrible thing in all nature.
