Arms Quote by Douglas MacArthur

“We are bound no longer by the straitjacket of the past and nowhere is the change greater than in our profession of arms. What, you may well ask, will be the end of all of this? I would not know! But I would hope that our beloved country will drink deep from the chalice of courage.” quote by Douglas MacArthur — Download Open image
