Glover Teixeira Quotes
I will fight anyone. I will always fight anyone, anywhere.
Teixeira, Glover. Interview by Ariel Helwani. The MMA Hour, MMA Fighting, 22 Apr. 2014.
The general was expressing a principle that is believed to this day by many policy makers, military people and civilians: Once a war has begun, one must not stop it until victory has been attained. It is unacceptable to negotiate an end to hostilities unless the enemy has been badly beaten on the battlefield. There is this view that “honor” would be lost and that enemies and even allies will not respect you and think the nation is weak and fearful. So there would always be extensive pressure to keep on fighting and not negotiate until there is a military dominant position.
