We call this civilization

Of all the things that men do, historically mostly men, fighting a war to kill other men is the most uncivilized. Wars have been fought through time and we may think we're more civilized now than people were a hundred or five hundred years ago but there's no sign that fighting wars is a thing of the past. There's always one going on somewhere. Eight of my classmates, friends really, in school and college were killed in World War II. I've had sixty years of life that those eight friends never had. We call this a civilization?
