QUOTES ON WAR
War is defined as a situation in
which two or more countries or groups of people fight against each other over a
period of time.
There are no humanitatian or civilisational
gains in war. The overall results are death and destruction, the ill effects of
which last for decades and become a valid ground for future wars as a matter of
revenge or retaliation.
Before as also after war Scientists
are encouraged to invent deadliest weapons at heaviest costs. The invention and
utilization of Atom Bomb and Hydrogen bomb even today are not very old. Along
with bombs other war material of ruinous nature is also discovered, invented or
and manufactured. War material is now a fashionable business item.
There are many factors which make war
deadly and devilish. It will not take months, at most a few days, to convert
this world into a horrible hell by using modern weapons and other combative devices.
Here are some famous war quotes, both
old and recent, reflecting the brutality and other costs of warfare.

end war, war will end us. Scientist, novelist and historian H. G. Wells (1866=1946).

Russell (1872-1970).
5. The
object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die
for his.----- United States General George Smith Patton (1885-!945).
