Sentiment: NEGATIVE
War means blind obedience, unthinking stupidity, brutish callousness, wanton destruction, and irresponsible murder.
I will not attempt to deny the reasonableness and necessity of a party war; but in carrying on that war all principles and rules of justice should not be departed from.

No war is over until the enemy says it's over.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
War implies a lack of comprehension of mutual national interests; it means the undermining and even the end of culture.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.
War is the continuation of politics by other means.
War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
