After a big war a nation doesn't want another for a generation or more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations.
Each generation seems to invent its own reasons for war.
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
War is not a thing one wants.
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits.
War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.
Something's very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.
To the next generation, your war is here; you don't have to find it.
This nation is never finished. It has to be re-created in each generation.
