Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



Without war no State could be. All those we know of arose through war, and the protection of their members by armed force remains their primary and essential task. War, therefore, will endure to the end of history, as long as there is a multiplicity of states.

- Heinrich von Treitschke
