With excerpt of "One War is Enough", Feb 1946 Atlantic Monthly article by Edgar L. Jones
"It is not my intention either to excuse our late opponents or to discredit our own fighting men. I do, however, believe that all of us ... should fully understand the horror and degradation of war before talking so casually of another one. War does horrible things to men, our own sons included. It demands the worst of a person and pays off in brutality and maladjustment." |

"'Listen, boy, it's not wise to wonder.
From the earliest days of mankind,
everyone's had a viper or another
sort of snake: people say they're divine.'
...
At home, they surrendered a great deal
of their food for the snake to consume." |
