The Spanish troops returned and we could yet discover the grass beaten down in the direction which they went.

For goodness' sakes, back in 2006, when we were about to lose the battle in Iraq, thank goodness our patriots fought in the Anbar province and Fallujah and turned that thing around.
Were we closer to the ground as children, or is the grass emptier now?
And we turned off and 30 miles south they're standing in the middle of our road blocking our way, stopped the car, got out, took us through the path in the woods, where the craft was on the ground.
We were soon free of the woods and bushes, and fairly upon the broad prairie.
Wherever we halted we were surrounded by wandering troops of Bedouins.
It was helpful to have the American troops there in great strength. They knew there'd be consequences if they didn't move back. Now, there has been some removal of the foreign forces.
In Vietnam, we took a hill and defeated the enemy; then we retreated and let the enemy take over.
By fighting a limited, defensive war, America permitted the enemy to endlessly re-supply their field armies.
The word was enough. It ran like fire along the line, from man to man, and rose into a shout, with which they sprang forward upon the enemy, now not 30 yards away.
The soldiers did go away and their towns were torn down; and in the Moon of Falling Leaves (November), they made a treaty with Red Cloud that said our country would be ours as long as grass should grow and water flow.
