As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I find war detestable but those who praise it without participating in it even more so.
If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
War can be fun for certain people. It's a magnet for sadists, losers, and angry dreamers.
War is like love; it always finds a way.
War is terrible. There is nothing romantic about war.
War is a profane thing.
It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.
War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.
There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It's mostly about random pointless death and misery.
