Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
Introduction to Treasury of the Free World (1946)
Fonte: Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference
Contexto: An aggressive war is the great crime against everything good in the world. A defensive war, which must necessarily turn to aggressive at the earliest moment, is the necessary great counter-crime. But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
