Soldiers and statesmen are forever laying the pavements of good intentions which lead to the hell of military conflict. The process is endless and will not be interrupted before there is societal understanding of the patterns that lead to destruction and a modification of behavior on the basis of that understanding. One such pattern is the predilection of tribes and nations to choose their statesmen from the ranks of military heroes. The transition from soldier to statesman may occur at any phase of the career. This text examines two aspects of the individual dilemma faced by these individuals-the tempering of national dogma with pragmatism and the decision to escalate or de-escalate the level of military conflict. Wherever possible, this examination is made in terms of the writings of, or about, these leaders. Co-published by arrangement with the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.
Excerpt from Heroes and Martyrs: Notable Men of the Time; Biographical Sketches of Military and Naval Heroes, Statesmen and Orators, Distinguished in the American Crisis of 1861-62 General Wilkinson was then stationed in Louisiana, and Captain Scott was or dered to join the army at that point in 1809. In the next year Wilkinson was superseded, and the young captain then expressed what was a very general Opinion: namely, that his late commander was implicated in Burr's conspiracy. For this he was tried by court-martial, and sentenced to one year's suspension from rank and pay. Probably this suspension was a fortunate event for the whole of that year was employed in the diligent study of works on military art.
