...simpler since then. To bring the bickering about conscription down to earth, the real question seems to be whether or not we will engage in war under any conditions. If the answer is in the affirmative (and I think no one will claim otherwise), is it not merely simple logic to provide ourselves with the most perfect military mechanism we can devise? To do otherwise is to butcher innocent boys when war does eventuate, as Hitler so clearly points out. . . .

...some 20-odd years my generation (the cannon-fodder of 1940-41) has had preached to it day and night the brutality, the folly, the utter stupidity of war. Also presented to us-in cold, unvarnished logic-was what we got out of the last war: not the preservation of democracy in the world as we so naively hoped, but thousands of maimed bodies and saddened homes, billions in unpaid war debts...
