“... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for ones own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
