many years after the warhis feelings for the“common men”in the warhis view of warwhy he kept writing about the warReinforcementSummaryDo you agree with the following statements?Why or why not?The day when nobody comes back from a war it will be because the war has at last been properly organized.Today the real test of power is not the capacity to make war but the capacity to prevent it.War is only cowardly escape from the problems of peace.There are no warlike peoples-just warlike leaders.War can only be abolished through war.Never think that war,no matter how necessary,nor how justified,is not a crime.ReinforcementDiscussionIs war a permanent human condition as the author says?Is it related to the innate aggressive nature of human beings?Is the 21st century heading for lasting peace or more wars?Is there anything positive to be said about war?Should people bury their war memories or should they keep them forever?ReinforcementDiscussion
