About This Quote
This quote from Robert Volger, a Nazi soldier in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark , is a quote that is often used to express how powerful war is. In this case, Volger is looking out into the city of Cairo. He sees all the people running around, going about their day-to-day lives. However, he also sees all the military and military-related weaponry and equipment. He recognizes that if one person had access to such a weapon and could use it against a city full of people, they would never stop using it until all of those people were dead.
