War is not politics by other means. It is not the outcome of failed policy but a policy of failure itself. What is the objective? Victory? A Pyrrhic one at best. A cleansing of bloodlust? There are not enough scapegoats to sate man’s thirst. Peace? A madness and a delusion. To the victor go the spoils, clutching a worthless and dead carcass. This, alas, is your reward. No god, no country, no honor, no salvation, no freedom. War, yes. The Devil, probably.
