The best part is that they tried to get him to talk after that, and he wouldn't, he was just smiling.
The general consensus is that he didn't want to fuck up the perfect last words.
>It was worse than a crime, it was a mistake
Either Fouché or Talleyrand on shooting the Duke of Enghien.
Personally I think it was a good decision but it's still a cool quote.
>be former Confederate general
>war ends
>end up commanding US troops in Cuba thirty years later
>rout spanish troops

"Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.

If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
- Marcus Aurelius (allegedly)
“Not advisable is spread thickly over this entire situation.”

"The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He's fighting for a group ethic of some sort. A warrior is free to be a hero and pull off daring do and the soldier is irresponsible if he does it."
