General William T. Sherman (Republican), 1865:

"I confess, without shame, I am sick and tired of fighting – its glory is all moonshine....It is only those who have never
heard a shot, never heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded and lacerated (friend or foe), that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation.”

General/President Ulysses S. Grant (Republican), 1877, 1879:

"I never felt any fondness for war...There never was a time, in my opinion, when some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword."

Mr. Donald J. Trump, draft evader (Republican), 2016:

"In a certain way, I LOVE war. As long as we're winning."
