Description
London (GB) - January 2006
"When men are heroically dying for their country, it is not the time to show their lovers and wives and fathers and mothers how they are being sacrificed to the blunders of boobies, the
cupidity of capitalists, the ambition of conquerors, the electioneering of demagogues, the Pharisaism of patriots, the lusts and lies and rancors and bloodthirsts that love war because
it opens their prison doors, and sets them in the thrones of power and popularity."
GB Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Some things do not seem to change.

You choose right words it is still the same. Excellent capture as always!

Shaw wouldn't change one word, if he'd write it today.

Some of Shaw's ideas and beliefs are questionable...... "Liberty and democracy become unholy when their hands are dyed red with innocent blood" - gandhi

how right you are... I wonder about all the people telling over and over again, that there are possibilites to learn from history... imho there are none, cause the "pupils" of every new generation are affected by the same bad traits as the ones before with only very few exeptions concerning those to gain power

One day you will finish that chicken leg you bite in the avatar..in the meantime you show a heart for truth. I appreciate that very much. When it is me, regardless of the situation or how minor the surgery or the event, it is 100% because it is me. For those who loose, who lost and who fear the loss of a love one in war or service of another type wrought with danger, it is 100% and it is not so much the reason but moreso because it is the one they love, 100%. Thanks so much for the timing of this fitting and heart grabbing image.

Of course Shaw is right, and so is Bob Dylan. Remeber that the German army had "Gott Mitt Uns" on their beltbuckles. We must learn the lessons, but never blame those who sacrificed.
