The writer wants to emphasize the receiver of the action.

The writer does not know who performed the action.

The writer does not think knowing who did the action is important

Explanation:

In passive voice, we shift focus from a person/object that performs the action, to a person/object that receives the action.

For example, the active sentence - 'Christopher Columbus first discovered America' is turned into passive  - 'America was first discovered by Christopher Columbus.'

In some cases, however, we lack information about the performer of the action, which is why we opt for passive voice -  'The girl was kidnapped yesterday.'

In other cases, the agent that performs the action is not considered important and is therefore omitted - The armed robbers were caught.

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
