Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wars of any magnitude release powerful social and economic forces which can change the whole face of the world.
A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.
War, we are told, shapes character; it resolves the major questions of international politics, consolidates nations, and indeed, constitutes the principal factor in the progress of civilization through its successive stages.
Civilization must stand up and combat the current collapse of governance, the rise of violence, and the spread of chaos and fear in many parts of the world.
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
That war has brought with it a truly incredible development of means of destruction and a terrifying prospect of rapid and almost limitless development in that direction.
The forces that are driving mankind toward unity and peace are deep-seated and powerful. They are material and natural, as well as moral and intellectual.
War is usually fought over diminishing resources, particulary those that we perceive to be extremely valuable.
War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory.
War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
