Here be some quotes, arr! (Don't ask me why I'm talking like a pirate)
The first casualty of war is truth.
- Rudyard Kipling

- The Art Of War -- Sun Tzu

- General Douglas MacArthur

And as far as this national security bullshit, I'll let me man Benjamin take that one:
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
- Albert Einstein
