Combat is a piece of war. But war is a totalizing, uncivilized experience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
War means fighting, and fighting means killing.
War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.
War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit, or morale.
War is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It's good to know what war entails and what the human sacrifice is.
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.
Life is a struggle, but not a warfare.
War is a perversion of sex.
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 a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.
War is sweet to those who have not experienced it.
