All wars are planned by old men in council rooms apart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.
There never is a convenient place to fight a war when the other man starts it.
During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man.
No two wars are ever the same. Some are just, some are unjust, but the basic commonality shared between them all is that young men and women heeded a call to service, overcame their fear, and fought for their side.
My own idea is that if the men hold any meetings or attempt to form any organization, we should be prepared to be fully informed of all that goes on and unhesitatingly discharge any men connected with this movement. In this way, our peace will be secure for a long time, and it will be easily done if taken at the start.
Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
The wars don't end when you sign peace treaties or when the years go by. They will echo on until I'm gone and all the widows and orphans are gone.
The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.
When there's a war, people get married.
