I guess it depends of your meaning of the word but I would certainly not call St. Joan or REL or any other true soldier of God a war-lover. I believe what Gen Douglas MacArthur said in his famous speech Duty, Honor, Country: “This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”

I said she was a war lover not a war monger. She cried over the casualties and once tried to push the intestines of an English soldier back into his body. But no one with her strategic and tactical genius could not enjoy the planning and execution of war. La Hire and the Bastard listened to everything she had to say and they knew their stuff.
