“The old men send the young to die in war,But if the roles were reversed, what then the score?”
“I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.”
“Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.”
“The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals. ”
“The war was about vanity, he said. It was about old men who couldn't look in the mirror anymore and so they sent the young out to die. Was was a get-together of the vain. They wanted it simple--hate your enemy, know nothing of him.”
“There is no fair in life and death. If it were, no good men would die young.”
