"Now that I come to think of it, I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions, but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner.

For a long time I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life-namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things. Consequently, Christianity does not want us to reduce by one atom the hatred we feel for cruelty and treachery. We ought to hate them. Not one word of what we have said about them needs to be unsaid. But it does want us to hate them in the same way in which we hate things in ourselves: being sorry that the man should have done such stand exactly what loving your neighbor as yourself means. I have to love him as I love myself."

"His mother was the illegitimate daughter of the German Kaiser: D----says, of the old Kaiser Wilhelm I, Don Bernardo says, of Kaiser Frederick Wilhelm, father of the present ex-Kaiser. She was born in Berlin on the 31 October, 1845: and her portrait, by Paul, now hangs in a gallery in Rome. Apparently there had been some injustice against her in Berlin--for she seems once to have been in the highest society there, and to have attended at court. Perhaps she was discreetly banished by Wilhelm II, hence M----s hatred of that monarch. She lies buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, where she died in 1912, with the words Filia Régis on her tomb."

"Many a man had come here in the history of the Legion's existence who turned out to be murderer, embezzler, forger, or prince. It is not many years ago that a simple young man arrived, who had not much to say, and registered as John Smith, or some such name, and lived the life of a private soldier. He was a bit of a dullard, and not popular, and was generally avoided by every one, which he took very indifferently. Altogether he was very apathetic. After he had been in the Legion some time he fell ill, was taken to the hospital, and died. Two months after his death a German battleship arrived at Oran, and several high naval officers traveled to Bel-Abbès, and, with all due formality, asked the Colonel and authorities for the body of John Smith. John Smith was no other than a nephew of Emperor William II, and the body of the German Prince was transported with full military honours to Oran, and taken to Germany on His Majesty's cruiser. The times are countless, when a detective from some part of Europe has entered the Legions barracks, and, when the company was at dinner, has looked for his man, tapped him on the shoulder, motioned him to follow, and disappeared with him--no one ever knowing who he was, what he had done, or what became of him. I was never able to find out who the German Prince was, but I imagine it must have been one of the three sons of Prince Albrecht of Prussia, Regent of Brunswick, who had such unfortunate endings. They were the bêtes noires of the Kaiser. He literally hounded them to death, and wrecked each one's life--and incidentally confiscated their fortunes, which were reputed to be the largest of any of the Royal Princes. The last of the three, Prince Friedrich Heinrich, fell from an aero plane in 1917 in the British lines and a week or two later died from his injuries. Prior to the war he had been an exile from his country, and had spent most of his time in Italy."

"The Legion was the stamping ground of the typical ex-German as he has been described for generations. Seventy per cent of the Legion were Germans, and it was German food, German manners, German discipline, German militarism, German arrogance, German insolence and German arbitrariness. One of the majors was a German-Alsatian, the Jewish lieutenant had a German name, every sergeant-major but one was a German, every sergeant but two was a German, the cooks were Germans, and the infirmary nurses were Germans. The severity of the punishments was decidedly German, It was a German regiment of the lowest type transplanted to Africa. The soldiers spoke German among themselves, and aired only German sentiments. They retained all their German habits of excessive drinking, eating, smoking, swearing, and blaspheming."

    "Ich erfuhr, dass an eine Reorganisation der Zustände des Landes nicht gedacht würde, dass der religiöse Fanatismus eher zu- als abnähme, dass, wenn der Sultan für seine Person auch vielleicht Reformen in einigen Dingen wünsche, der Religionshass der Eingeborenen gegen alles Christliche so gross sei, dass an Ausführung nicht gedacht werden könnte."

    "Der entsetzlich verdummende Einfluss der mohammedanischen Religion, der Fanatismus, die eitle Anmassung nur den eigenen Glauben für den richtigen zu halten, schliessen aber auch jede Besserung aus."

    Gerhard Rohlfs, 1861

    '... Wie töricht sie waren, so schnell abzureisen; es kommt gar nicht zum Krieg gewiß nicht, ich habe es heute erst im Figaro gelesen." "Glaube den französischen Zeitungen nicht, sie lügen!" "Aber nein, gewiß nicht; was ich gelesen habe, kann nicht erlogen sein: der Zar hat dem deutschen Kaiser telegraphiert, er wolle keinen Krieg. Auch der König von England versichert, er habe den ernsten Wunsch, einen europäischen Krieg zu verhindern. Daß die Franzosen den Krieg fürchten, wissen wir doch ganz gewiß und ebenso, daß die Deutschen nie anfangen. Also, wie soll es einen europäischen Krieg geben? ...'

    Vietnam War

    Die Überlebenden von Dien Bien Phu erzählten von der Schlacht, vom Versagen der Führung, von der schrecklichen Überraschung, als plötzlich Artilleriefeuer auf ihre unzureichenden Stellungen trommelte. Ein Thai-Bataillon war sofort übergelaufen. Die übrigen farbigen Truppen hatten sich passiv verhalten und Deckung gesucht. Wirklich gekämpft bis zum letzten Erdloch und bis aufs Messer hatten lediglich die französischen Fallschirmjäger und die Fremdenlegionäre, zu 80 % Deutsche, seien zum Sterben angetreten wie in einer mythischen Gotenschlacht.“
