We deal now, not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe... Of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy; of such dreams and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all times. And through all this welter of change and development our mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable. It is to win our wars.
-Speech by General Douglas MacArthur to West Point cadets, May 12th, 1962
