I wish I were graced with the unfathomable privilege of welding the military. Everything, ultimately, is done by the military. This is the forbidden truth, the ultimate fact that militaries are the ultimate arbiters of the world, and military powers determine all social realities.
In another life I would be a soldier. I understand the solider without being a soldier and to understand soldiers one must at first listen to them. History is the consequence of soldiers, and will forever more be the consequence of soldiers. It is folly for peace to deceive us as to the reality and truth of war, which is, vile or not, the cause of movement of all history.
