Quotes ~ H G Wells on the Military

"In many ways military organization is the most civilized of activities. When the contemporary man steps from the street, of clamorous insincere advertisement, push, adulteration, underselling and intermittent employment into the barrack yard, he steps on to a higher social plane, into an atmosphere of service and co-operation and of infinitely more honorable emulations."

--H.G. Wells, First and Last Things, 1908
