…a soldier was driving me and we spoke of war. I did not want to discuss the subject as it is usually an unpleasant conversation to have these days, when patriotic emotions are high, and taking an anti-war position is often misconstrued as being unpatriotic.
But the soldier persisted. He said: “Who likes war, madam? The soldier I kill will have a family. He too knows the same is true of me. We don’t want to fight but it is our duty. War is a loss for my enemy and me.”
