24. As I typed so many times

in this forum. War is an admission of failure. A failure to communicate, a failure to air out grievences, a failure to come to terms, a failure to think of the innocent and on and on. Even the Soldier having to fight the war is innocent. War is killing. Killing does not solve anything.
