It isn't mine, and it isn't a speech, but I always think of these lines from the theme of the movie "the Graduate" (no, it's not Mrs. Robinson)...

From Scarborough Fair, Canticle...

"On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call...

...War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause theyve long ago forgotten."
