For D Eisenhower war is theft, for W Sherman it's hell

In preparation for a talk, came across these two quotes, via Google of  course.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed."
- Eisenhower.

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded, who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
- William Sherman. Sherman was a general in the Union Army in the American civil war.
