"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing." Dec 13, 1881- Konstantin Josef Jireček (July 24, 1854, in Vienna - January 10, 1918, in Vienna). Jireček was a Czech historian, politician, and diplomat, and a Slav scholar.
(Some attributions use the word "unwilling" because of the pattern of negative un- words in the quote. This version was used by those who protested the Vietnam War because it represented the view of some soldiers' families if not the soldiers themselves.)
