“What is left after war is silence: The silence of the death; the silence of the debris; the silence of the birds! After war even the screams of sadness are silent because the pain is in the very depths of the soul!”

“Son, there’s nothing right about war. Nothing good ever comes of it. And I’m no hero. Anyone who rallies for war, for so many guns in men’s hands, has never stood shivering in his boots in the middle of a battlefield. And anyone who fights simply to be a man ain’t a man. He doesn’t have enough compassion.” I start to understand then. Maybe it’s war that makes Grandpa look sad sometimes. Maybe it’s the thought that it can happen at any moment or the thought that there will always be war that makes him appear melancholy, like on those afternoons he sits stone-faced in his recliner while Hank Williams’ lonesome voice fills the house, singing of the blue whippoorwill and the weeping robin. Maybe Grandpa wants me to realize that being a soldier doesn’t make someone a hero or a man, but having compassion does.”

“You're proud of your country's history, aren't you? How many countries have you conquered, how many countries have you brought to their knees, how many lands have you annexed to yourself! Do you know what you're bragging about? How many people you've killed, how many lives you've destroyed, that's exactly what you're bragging about! You boast of barbarism, primitiveness and evil! Your soul is ugly!”

“In the matter of war, ask this question to yourself and to your own fellow country men: Have you ever seen any politician in your country without legs, without arms, without eyes after war? No! You can’t see such a thing because honourless politicians always stay in the safe ports while they send others to the zone of death!”

“Throughout history, all evil countries with an expansionist militarist mind have been heavily armed under the name of the defense industry. The truth is that there is no distinction between the defense industry and the offensive industry, only the arms industry! Unless the weapon industry is destroyed, humanity will never find peace because if there is a trigger, the one who will pull that trigger will definitely emerge, and the important thing is that the trigger is not produced and if there is one, it is destroyed!”

“I was one of the privileged majority who would be leading troops in combat in just a month, and I felt a keen sense of irony when the lance corporal/clerk who processed my orders turned out to be one of the officer candidates who had flunked out of my OCS class. His reward for failure would be a safe stateside tour of duty behind a typewriter, and although I would not have traded places with him for anything, he was living proof of the Marine Corps axiom that the shitbirds get the easy assignments.”
