[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.

       Brigadier General John J. Pershing commanding the Mexican Punitive Expedition, of the Army of the United States, under orders from Commander-in-Chief Wilson, invades Mexico, in pursuit of General Francisco “Pancho” Villa, commander of the Villista militia (citizen-volunteers).

       Postscript: Even after Pershing withdrew from Mexico, the U.s. invaded three more times, during the Mexican Revolution.

       NOTE: These are the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh times the United States has invaded Mexico; whereas the government of Mexico has never invaded the U.s.
