It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. May as well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god... Men of god and men of war have strange affinities.
