Gore Vidal:
You can persuade people to go to war and fight for Democracy and die, leaving a widow and orphaned children behind; that this is serving the greater good. Well, it isn't. It's surrendering to everything evil in the society. But they've been persuaded, 'Oh, it's a noble thing to give your life for your country.' F*** that. I spent three years in WWII, the 'Good War.' In three years in the Pacific, mostly North, but a little bit South; I never heard one patriotic word said by an American soldier about anything.
