War is a place where young people who do not know each other and do not hate each other kill each other, because of the decision of old people who know and hate each other, but do not kill each other …”
Erich Hartmann
“When [men] go to war, what they want is to impose on their enemies the victor’s will and call it peace.”
Saint Augustine
No one wins in war. There is just different degrees of losing.
“What I can’t do — what I refuse to do — is to stop bearing responsibility for my past. And this means, most of all, conducting my life with that past in mind, as a catalyst to good works. My expectation for those in power is quite simply that they do the same, with the heightened awareness that their decisions have the capacity to save or ruin millions of lives just like my own, my fellow war fighters’, and the nameless multitudes we continue to war against.”
Lyle Jeremy Rubin, Afghanistan War Veteran fb as quoted at ‘Iraq Veterans Against the War’ https://www.facebook.com/IraqVeteransAgainstTheWar
“Wars are the Jews’ harvest, for with them we wipe out the Christians and get control of their gold. We have already killed 100 million of them, and the end is not yet.”
Chief Rabbi in France, in 1859, Rabbi Reichorn
