"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling
which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being

Im a Liberal, (not American definition), so why would I not quote
Mills?

As to his lapse into an interest into socialism, senile dementia is
such a terrible thing in the elderly.
