Of course, war and the large military
establishments are the greatest sources of violence in the world. Whether their
purpose is defensive or offensive, these vast powerful organizations exist
solely to kill human beings. We should think carefully about the reality of
war. Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and
glamorous – an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. Since
armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that
war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. In fact, we have
been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its
very nature is one of tragedy and suffering. - Dalai Lama
