Quote #12 on Political Struggle Quotes >> War and Military Aristocracy
“It is doubtful whether prolonged war-preparation is morally any better than war itself; there are even reasons for thinking that it may be slightly worse. Only two or three years of it, and we may sink almost unresisting into some local variant of austro-Fascism.”
