I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.
The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose.
The U.S. military is not war weary. Our military draws strength from confronting our enemies when clear policy objectives are set and we are fully resourced for the fight.
It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.
No war is over until the enemy says it's over.
Wars without military objectives have a tendency to go on forever.
War is the continuation of politics by other means.
I thought the war would never end. And perhaps it never did, either.
War is, in fact, an extension of politics, and in any war, military operations have to be conducted in such a way that they contribute to sustainable political outcomes consistent with vital interests that are at stake in that war.
