Abstract

Who exactly this quote originates from remains unclear to this day and may also be a punchline that fits all too well with the content of the sentence. But even Sun Tzu knew: “All warfare is based on deception.” Therefore, there is no need for an exact origin of the truth contained in the sentence attributed to Hiram Johnson.

The first casualty of any war is the truth

Hiram Johnson (attributed)
