Notes On The
Next War
I hey wrote lit the old days that
it is sweet hikI MttiiiK to (lie for one's
country. Jhit in modern war there
is nothing sweet nor ilttliiK in your
dying. You will die like a dog for
no good reason. Hit in the head
you will die quickly and cleanly even
sweetly and fittingly except for the
white blinding flash that never stops,
unless perhaps it is only the frontal
hone or your optic nerve that is
smashed, or your Jaw carried, or your
now,- and cheek hones gone wo jrou
have no face to talk with. Hut if
you are not hit in the head you will
he hit in the chest, and choke in it,
or In the lower belly and feel it all
slip and slide loosely us you open to
spill out when you try to get up, it's
IKJt supposed to he so painful hut
they always scream with it, it's the
idea I suppose, or have the flash, the
slamming clang of high explosive on
a hard road and find your legs are
gone above the knee, or maybe just
a foot gone and watch the white
hone sticking through your puttee,
or watch them take a hoot oft with
your foot a mush Inside it, or feel
an arm flop und learn how a hone
feels grating, or you will burn, choke
and vomit, or be blown to hell a
dozen ways, without sweetness or fittingness;
hut none of this meant;
anything. No catalogue of honors
ever kept men from war. Before the
war you always think that it's not
you that dies. But you will die, brother,
if you go to it long enough.'
The only way to combat the murder
that is war is to show the dirty
combinations and Bwine that hope
for it and the idiotic way they run
it when they get it so that an honest
man will distrust it as he would
a racket and refuse to be enslaved
into it.
If war was fought by those who
wanted to fight it and knew what
they were doing and liked it, or even
understood ft. then it would he
defensible. Hut those who want to
go to war, the elite, are killed off in
the first months and the rest of the
war is fought by men who are enslaved
into the bearing of arms and
are taught to be more afraid of sure
death from their officers if they run
than possible death if they stay in
tiie line of attack. Eventually their
steadily increasing terror overcomes
them, given the proper amount of
bombardment and a given intensity
of fire, and they all run and, if they
get far enough out of hand, for that
artny it is over. Was there any Allied
army which did not, sooner or
later, run during the last war? There
is not room here to list them.
No one wins a modern war because
it is fought to such a point that everyone
must lose. The troops that
are fighting at the end are incapable
of winning. It is only a question of
which government rots the first or
which side can get In a new ally with
fresh troops.
In a modern war there is no Victory.
The Allies won the war but
the regiments that inarched in triumph
were not the men who fought
the war. The men who fought the
war were dead. More than seveu million
of them were dead and it is
the murder of over seven million
more than an ex-corporal la the Herman
army and an ex-avlator and former
morphine addict drunk with personal
and military ambition and fogged
in a blood-stained murk of misty patriotism
look forward hysterically to
today. Hitler wants war in Europe
as soon as he can get It. He is an
ex-corporal and he will not have to
fight in this one; only to make the
speeches. He himself has nothing to
lose by making war and everything
to gain.
Mussolini is an ex-corporal, too.
but he is also an exanarchfst, a great
opportunist, and a realist. He wants
no war in Europe. He will bluff in
Europe but he never means to fight
there. He can still remember what
the war was like himself and how
lie left it after being wounded In an
accident with an Italian trench mortar
and went back to newspaper work.
He does not want to fight In Europe
because he knows that anyone who
fights may lose, and the first dictator
who provokes a war and loses it puts
a stop to dictators and their sons, for
a long time.
Hut a hell broth is brewing in Europe
and we shall he brought in if
propaganda and greed can swing us
in. Europe has always fought, the
intervals of peace are only Armistices.
\\ e were fools to be sucked in
once on a European war and we
should never be sucked In again;?
