thumb|There's nothing much I can tell you about this war. It's like all wars, I suppose. The undertakers are winning it. Oh, the politicians will talk a lot about the "glory" of it, and the old men'll talk about the "need" of it—the soldiers, they just want to go home.
James Lee Barrett (19 November 1929 – 15 October 1989) was an American producer, screenwriter, and writer.
Quotes

Shenandoah (film)
