Men who have been in war have a different attitude about being wronged.

How do we keep convincing young people to die in fights they didn’t start for reasons we’re too devious to tell the truth about? It’s way too easy for governments to spend other people’s blood. Maybe only the sons and daughters of those who declare the wars should be allowed to fight and die.

The true soldier knows nothing but war, and the true soldier, for lack of an enemy, attacks himself.

There ain’t nothin’ you can say about war that ain’t personal. It’s all personal.
