WARS - Leonardo Strejilevich - Bog

War, a fateful mixture of misuse of power followed by destruction and death, has been naturalized for centuries in human societies. War involves all citizens, uses armaments that force and demand a modification of the whole economy to produce them and that are used in large quantities to destroy and kill and that totally transform the lives of the participants.Worse even than the horrors of war are its consequences; it seems that in war, loss of life, other costs and politics do not matter. The increased brutality in war is due to the release of the latent human potential for cruelty and violence that war legitimizes.
