“
- HL Mencken (1936)
War survives simply because so many people enjoy it.
The truth is that the human race finds it hard to endure is peace. It can stand the dull monotony for ten years, twenty, even thirty years, but then it begins to fume and lather, and presently we are in the midst of another major war and enjoying it’s incomparable exhilaration.
