When you have warfare, things happen; people suffer; the noncombatants suffer as well as the combatants. And so it happens in civil war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.
In war, people find themselves in extraordinary circumstances, and in those circumstances, they act in extraordinary ways. In war, you see people at their very best and their very worst, acting in ways you could never imagine. War is human drama at its most epic and most intense.
War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.
Combat is a piece of war. But war is a totalizing, uncivilized experience.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
War does horrible things to human beings, to societies. It brings out the best, but most often the worst, in our human nature.
My belief is that when the military is used as the sole instrument of power, that never has a good outcome. If there's no one to take ownership and develop that failed state, human suffering can be even worse than that created by the conflict itself.
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.
Causes of Civil War are also, that the Wealth of the Nation is in too few mens hands, and that no certain means are provided to keep all men from a necessity either to beg, or steal, or be Souldiers.
Life is a struggle, but not a warfare.
