Summary

This quote, attributed to General George S. Patton, suggests that individual sacrifices alone cannot ensure victory in a war. It emphasizes the strategic and tactical aspects of warfare, highlighting the importance of making the enemy suffer losses and casualties instead. In other words, rather than focusing solely on dying for a cause, it is the ability to tactically outsmart and defeat the enemy that ultimately determines the outcome of a conflict. The quote challenges the romanticized notion of sacrifice and underscores the need for strategic thinking in achieving victory.
