"A declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance tickets and bands, like a bullfight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries dressed in bathing drawers and armed with clubs, can havit out among themselves. Whoever survives, his country wins. That would be much simpler and more just than this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting."
Kropp, from All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
