War is often viewed as an inevitable aspect of human existence, an intrinsic even necessary part of human nature - a dark shadow that stalks our species throughout history.
“War is when the youth of one country are sent overseas to fight other young people over arguments that angry old men cannot settle.” Precisely. I’d add cowardly to the “angry” and changed cannot to will not. They can, but they won’t settle because they are cowards and for them it is easy to squander other people’s lives. And easier not to listen too. Listening requires empathy which is difficult.
