Quote of the Day: 26 July 2024 #QotD

“War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government’s decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him … but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing … but controlled and purposeful violence.” -Sgt. Zim, Starship Troopers

[Something to keep in mind in these days of various localized conflicts. When viewed from this perspective, some things begin to make sense. Not that they are right, but they can be understood.]
