John Stuart Mill Quote

Here is the full John Stuart Mill quote from Retired Army Colonel Jack Jacobs' appearance on MSNBC regarding the British hostage situation:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
