War is society's dirty work, usually done by kids cleaning up failures perpetrated by adults.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
War does horrible things to human beings, to societies. It brings out the best, but most often the worst, in our human nature.
When we think of war, the tendency is to picture young soldiers only in their military roles. To a large extent this dehumanizes the soldiers and makes it easier for society to commit them to combat.
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 the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.
If war occurs, that positive adult contact in every shape is needed more than ever. It will be a matter of emotional life and death. There's not a handy one-minute way of talking to your kid about war.
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.
A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers.
We often fight wars with our young.
War is a perversion of sex.
War violates the natural order of things, in which children bury their parents; in war parents bury their children.
