“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people."

-- John Stuart Mill

I feel sorry for people who believe there’s nothing worth fighting for. Their lives must be awfully vacuous.
