Only if you don't die. And are nowhere near the site of the war/battle. If you are a gov't propagandaist than this is probably the best phrase you've ever coined.
I also think that this quote has ramifications today, Fas est et ab hoste doceri. Try translating it, unlike the quote above, this was by Ovid (the top one was by Horace).
I like seeing your give-and-take, and ESPECIALLY the learned quotations to /Quae oro.../ /Fas est.../ /Bella, horrida bella.../
*When* possible (I know it's not always easy) you can give source and book/line numbers so others can refer to the texts. Do you all know about Latin Library?

No, that is not the greatest phrase,I say that Quae ora nostro cruore caret? What coast knows not our blood?
