Army Executive

Famous quotes containing the words army and/or executive:

“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“When you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.”
