Note 110 — Chapter XX · THE TRAINING OF THE MAN
Reading edition
General Kleber, when his men, overcome by fatigue, refused to move a step farther, called them cowards. As they protested that they were at any rate always brave in a fight, he replied, “Yes, you are brave men, but you are not soldiers. To be a soldier is not to eat when you are hungry, not to drink when you are thirsty, and to carry your comrade when you cannot drag yourself along.”—Manuel du gradé de cavalerie.
