[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.

       The USS Atlanta, under orders from Commander-in-Chief Theodore Roosevelt, invades Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, to protect American interests.

       NOTE: This is the first time the United States has invaded the Dominican Republic, whereas the Dominican Republic, has never invaded the U.s.
