Anthony RyanWar is ever the folly of the ignorant. But I have seen much to convince me some wars must be fought, to the bitterest end if need be.
About This Quote
The quote, “War is ever the folly of the ignorant” is to say that those who do not know or understand the true nature of war will often seek to start a war. They may even be willing to fight a war to its bitter end, but it is those who have learned about war as a concept who should lead the way as it is their knowledge and experience that can help others avoid making the mistakes that lead to war. The second part of the quote refers to the men who fight in wars. These men are often called “gun-fighters” by people. But many times, gun-fighters are not the ones who make the best leaders for wars.
