Curtis LeMay on committing war crimes during World War II

I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal...  Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing.  But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.

Curtis LeMay on the killing of civilians in war

There are no innocent civilians, so it doesn’t bother me so much to be killing innocent bystanders.
