[Quote No.20760] Need Area: Friends > General
"A soldier is a slave - he does what he is told to do - everything is provided for him - his head is a superfluity. He is only a stick used by men to stifle other men; and he is often tossed to Hell without a second thought." - Elbert G. Hubbard

[Quote No.20769] Need Area: Friends > General
"Of all the evils to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes, are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people! No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison
(1751 - 1836) 4th U.S. President

[Quote No.20774] Need Area: Friends > General
"The life of states is like that of men. The latter have the right of killing in self - defense; the former to make wars for their own preservation. [Often however the threat is not that serious and therefore the response is more vindictive than defensive and as this is punished as excessive in law so too it and those responsible should be in war.]" - Charles de Secondat Montesquieu
