You cannot qualifywar in harsher terms than I will.War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who broughtwar into our Country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out... You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships ofwar.
I've been where you are now and I know just how you feel. It's entirely natural that there should beat in the breast of every one of you a hope and desire that some day you can use the skill you have acquired here. Suppress it! You don't know the horrible aspects ofwar. I've been through twowars and I know. I've seen cities and homes in ashes. I've seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you,war is hell!
HereLee andLongstreet stood during most of the fighting [atFredericksburg], and it is told that, on one of the Federal repulses from Marye's Hill, Lee put his hand upon Longstreet's arm and said, "It is well thatwar is so terrible, or we would grow too fond of it."
1922,Henry Ford,Samuel Crowther, chapter17, inMy Life and Work, Garden City, New York: Garden City Publishing Company, Inc.,→OCLC:
Nobody can deny thatwar is a profitable business for those who like that kind of money.War is an orgy of money, just as it is an orgy of blood.
War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned indollars and the losses in lives... Of course, it isn't put that crudely inwar time. It is dressed into speeches aboutpatriotism, love of country, and "we must allput our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket—and are safely pocketed.
War is the greatest of all agents of change. It speeds up all processes, wipes out minor distinctions, brings realities to the surface. Above all,war brings it home to the individual that he isnot altogether an individual.
From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
War.War never changes. TheRomans wagedwar to gather slaves and wealth.Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory.Hitler shaped a batteredGermany into an economic superpower. Butwar never changes.
2013 July 20, "Old Soldiers?",The Economist, Vol. 408, No. 8845:
Edward Wilson, the inventor of the field ofsociobiology, once wrote that "war is embedded in our very nature". This is a belief commonly held not just by sociobiologists but also byanthropologists and other students of human behaviour. They base it not only on the propensity of modern man to go towar with his neighbours (and, indeed, with people halfway around the world, given the chance) but also on observations of the way those who still live a pre-agricultural "hunter-gatherer" life behave... Whether modern, industrial man is less or more warlike than his hunter-gatherer ancestors is impossible to determine... One thing that is true, though, is that murder rates have fallen over the centuries... Modern society may not have done anything aboutwar. But peace is a lot more peaceful.
A second challenge will be to implement, with our allies, a plan of stability in the Balkans, so that the region's bitter ethnic problems can no longer be exploited by dictators and Americans do not have to cross the Atlantic again to fight in anotherwar.
Ourwar on terror begins withal Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.
Thewar against war is going to be no holiday excursion or camping party... Ask all our millions, north and south, whether they would vote now (were such a thing possible) to haveour war for the Union expunged from history... and probably hardly a handful of eccentrics would say yes. Those ancestors, those efforts, those memories and legends, ar the most ideal part of what we now own together, a sacred spiritual possession worth more than all the blood poured out. Yet ask those same people whether they would be willing, in cold blood, to start another civil war now to gain another similar possession, and not one man or woman would vote for the proposition.
