“The war had made some into libertines and some into serious, sober men.”
“The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.”
“Maggot twitch, some people called it. If you’d seen much of the war, you had it. Some more. Some less. But everybody had it.”
“Some Of Us Were Made For War. Jack Hammerson, Arcadian Genesis, 2012.”
“If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.”
“The day Henry made a choice.....that some men are just too interesting to die.”
