War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there.
The main thing I say on war is that we need to obey the law and formally declare war.
War is, in fact, an extension of politics, and in any war, military operations have to be conducted in such a way that they contribute to sustainable political outcomes consistent with vital interests that are at stake in that war.
War is complicated and intense, and it takes time and thoughts to understand what it was.
War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.

War is an arena for the display of courage and virtue. Or war is politics by other means. War is a quasi-mystical experience where you get in touch with the real. There are millions of narratives we impose to try to make sense of war.
War is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It's good to know what war entails and what the human sacrifice is.
