I have gone to war and now I can issue my complaint. I can sit on my porch and complain all day. And you must listen. Some of you will say to me: You signed the contract, you crying bitch, and you fought in a war because of your signature, no one held a gun to your head. This is true, but because I signed the contract and fulfilled my obligation to fight one of America__ wars, I am entitled to speak, to say, I belong to a fucked situation.

We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial__ believe we are lost.

Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems?

I want you to give all these chiefs of the soldiers here to understand that we are for peace, and that we have made peace, that we may not be mistaken by them for enemies.

An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.

The soldiers never explained to the government when an Indian was wronged, but reported the misdeeds of the Indians.
