“Only the dead have seen the end of war”

    Warm summer sun,
    shine brightly here,
    Warm Southern wind,
    blow softly here,
    Green sod above,
    lie light, lie light,
    Good night, dear heart;
    good night, good night.

    To the men and women who have died in war, R.I.P..

    “Only the dead have seen the end of war”

    I used that quote last week with my brother.

    Plato said it :beer:

    Actually, if one believes in the Bible, there is the final war between Heaven and Hell where the dead rise up or something…

    This is the sort of thing anyone interested in simply shooting should have in mind.

    Most revolutions or counter revolutions ended in hell because in a fight, it is not often the wise that wins, but the most vicious.

    More appropriate should be a certain philosopher (whose name I often misspell) Neitschze (paraphrased here):

    When you look into the deep dark Pit, the Pit looks into you. Do not become the monster you profess to destroy.

    It’s haunting.

    War is the most stupid of human behaviors. Too bad it is too often necessary.
