Basically: Don't start no shite, won't be no shite.

You can say this all you want but we both know that DC and a significant majority of the public would never tolerate a modern day William Sherman.

The public lost their minds over prisoners of war in Abu Ghraib being tortured and we had pentagon officials resigning in protest over Trump restoring a Navy SEAL's trident after he got rough with captured ISIS/AL Queda militants and won a court martial over it.

Hell, we even argue and dispute whether or not the atomic bombings of Japan was warranted and public opinion has become more divided on that over the years.

That sherman quote sounds cool and tough but that's not reality now as matters of war go in modern times.
