“War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.” – Thomas Mann

“Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.” – Issac Asimov

“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.” – John Steinbeck

Creating a militaristic society is only good for the militarists. It leaves the bulk of society with less pretending to be more.
