The wisdom of Hawkeye Pierce
By Will Crois

"War isn't hell, War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse” said Hawkeye in the Mash movie.
Dylan sang years ago: “How many times must cannon balls fly before they're forever banned? The answer is blowin' in the wind.”
Edwin Star sang "War (what is it good for) absolutely nothing."
Regardless of your position today, while witnessing the horrific scenes of today's war, you must acknowledge that war is a primitive act that should have been forbidden hundreds of years ago. Yet, rockets fly, ripping through buildings and human flesh, ignoring any form of decency or moral standards.
The term war has been occurring for years or days, but the outcome remains the same.
Banks, power brokers, and those who acquire more land benefit the most, believing they are superior to others through religious and political beliefs.
War is indeed worse than Hell.
I am not aligned with either side in war, but rather with those who have come and gone, who consider war to be obsolete and archaic.
