    A month ago when I left that comment I was talking about the way it’s written, not the subject matter

    War is the single worst thing humans do. The most insane. The most cruel. The most destructive. The most traumatic. The least sustainable.

    That looks like the beginning of a high school essay with a minimum word count

    Sincerely, G.

      well, high school essays often capture reality in more profound and direct way.

      I regard this beginning as a truly an immensely powerful reminder of the true status of war.

      an analogy would be to say that the worst crime a human can make is to take the life of another human.
