Quote #7 on Political Struggle Quotes >> War and Military Aristocracy
“The standing army takes men and turns them into slaves. It degrades the character of citizens, makes them lose the taste for work and furnishes recruits to the odious police, who foster corruption rather than protect morals; and it lends its hand to all the crimes against the liberty of the citizen.”
