“If rulers learn to undervalue the lives of their own subjects by the custom of war, how much more do they undervalue the lives of their enemies! As they learn to hear of the loss of five hundred or a thousand of their own men, with perhaps less feeling than they would hear of the death of a favorite horse or dog, so they learn to hear of the death of thousands after thousands on the side of the enemy with joy and exultation.” IfsMenInspirationalWarFeelingsJoySidesLossEnemyFiveSubjectsDogThousandHundredHorseCustomsRulers Book:The friend of peace Source: The friend of peace
