The enemy is fighting for a very definite purpose-to destroy our forces.Collection: War

after a generation or two of shedding the deliberate political encumbrances to war ... of dropping Congress from the equation altogether, of super-empowering the presidency with total war-making power and with secret new war-making resources that answer to no one but him, of insulating the public from not only the cost of war but sometimes even the knowledge that it's happened - war making has become almost an autonomous function of the American state.

Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure.

Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.Collection: War

It's there, in the Selected Letters for all to read, an example of a once great writer at his very worst. I doubt that he ever forgave Scribners for publishing James Jones in the first place. War, as Hemingway saw it, belonged to him.Collection: War

They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war.

Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.Collection: War
