A quote from General Winfield Scott -- General Winfield Scott, after the Mexican War, made the following statement. It is called Scott's fixed opinion and is a required memorization by all cadets at the United States Military Academy: "I give it as my fixed opinion, that but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United States and Mexico, might, and probably would have, lasted some four or five years with in its first half, more defeats than victories falling to our share; whereas, in less than two campaigns, we conquered a great country and a peace, without the loss of single battle or skirmish." Brian McEnany ('62) Vienna, VA
