War can be fun for certain people. It's a magnet for sadists, losers, and angry dreamers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
War is sweet to those who have not experienced it.
War is like love; it always finds a way.
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.
First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.
War is not a thing one wants.
A sane person doesn't think war is a good idea. I'm not a pacifist. I feel that there are situations where fighting is inescapable, but we don't go looking for those things.
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.
There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It's mostly about random pointless death and misery.
So war is an extremely sad business, because the majority of people don't want to be in it.
