“ In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Every combatant who at a certain time believed in what he was doing and is now looking back at his service, understands this quote of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just to well. Years after, what remains is the same feeling of emptiness and pain for those gone, and a new understanding of the enemy. As such the combatant is obliged to warn the war-hawks of the destructive reality of armed conflict.As Deciderius Erasmus already wrote at the beginning of the sixteenth century
“War is delightful only to those who have had no experience of it.”
