War is what it is… War!

“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”

— General Dwight D. Eisenhower

I’ve talked to several Vietnam veterans and a World War II veteran about that quote. All of them have said that the words of General Eisenhower ring true even though they wanted to and needed to win each and every battle. Complex isn’t the word for war. War is the word for war.
