Quote by George Armstrong Custer
You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.
Summary

However, when considering their personal perspective, they express an unexpected sentiment. They admit that they will feel a sense of sorrow or regret once the war is over.
