On This Day | The Romance and Brutality of War

It was just like the Germans to behead the first American prisoners taken and place the heads on poles in an effort to frighten the remainder of our army. Germany will not be able to break down the morale of our army in such a brutal fashion. This, of course, is barbarous warfare, but it will only make America that much more determined to stamp out a system that breeds soldiers of that type. The Germans will be paid back with interest before we are thru with them.
