[Our] people are not a warlike nation.  It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want war but does not fear it.  It loves peace, but also its honor and freedom.

—— Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.

        We are not a warlike people.  Quite the opposite.  We always seek to live in peace.  We resort to force infrequently and with great reluctance–and only after we have determined that it is absolutely necessary.

—— Ronald W. Reagan, July 17, 1980.

       Captain George H. Hollins, commanding the USS Cyane, under orders from Commander-in-Chief Pierce razes San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, in retaliation for insulting the united States ambassador to Nicaragua.

       NOTE: This is the second time the United States has invaded Nicaragua, whereas Nicaragua has never invaded the U.s.
