“In strict confidence…I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one” - Theodore Roosevelt Response: I chose this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, because it was the only quote that really stayed with me through the entire text. “In strict confidence…I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one” This to me seems absurd, why encourage war? I knew Roosevelt had fought in a previous war, but I did not realize he encouraged it. Honestly, I thought that since he had fought before and saw his friends and fellow soldiers die, he would try to avoid it at any cost. A leader of a country, I think, should try to protect their people, not send them out for slaughter. This quote was the best choice for me because it has opened up my eyes to a person I thought was admirable.
