In a graduate seminar in military history, I recall one young student who intoned the tired old antiwar shibboleth, “It would be nice if they gave a war and nobody showed up.” The professor, a Marine veteran of the Korean War, responded, “Young lady, the aggressor always shows up.”
Peace-niks never get this.
