PS. It’s the lack of readiness for war that results in having to face “continual warfare”, which Madison was concerned with in his 1795 observation and you chose to omit, thus distorting the context. If “(w)ar is the mortal enemy of liberty”, then it must be won as quickly as possible to preserve liberty rather than avoided in a cowardly manner, which again vindicates Washington (whose quote you dishonestly butcher here) and puts Madison at no disagreement, frankly.

Hm.... on your pretentious horse again and right on cue.
I think Washington’s assertions are absurd given the time frame in which he made them. And I think Madison’s assertion is on the mark. But this is merely my opinion.
Of course noisy table thumpers like you never abide dissenting opinion, even on a discussion forum; since anything you say must be so because you day so, like the Cheshire Cat lecturing Alice. Suggest you do all a favor and ignore my posts and I’ll gladly reciprocate.
Why not find a house to haunt?
