Quotes by Geoffrey Wawro (?)

“Prussians were singularly well prepared in other areas as well. They invented the “dog tag” in 1870: an oval disc worn by every soldier bearing his name, regiment, and place of residence.”
― Geoffrey Wawro, The Franco-Prussian War

“Edmund Burke: “When things go wrong we are always tempted to ask not how we got into this difficulty, but how we are to get out of it . . . to consult our invention and to reject our experience.” Yet, Burke concluded, such thinking is “diametrically opposed to every rule of reason, and every good principle of good sense.”
― Geoffrey Wawro, Quicksand: America's Pursuit of Power in the Middle East

“major in the 1st Division added. That major always took a large number of shirkers for granted, relying throughout on that “certain number of men who can be depended upon, as a general thing, to begin and end all military operations.”
― Geoffrey Wawro, Sons of Freedom: The Forgotten American Soldiers Who Defeated Germany in World War I
