>It makes no difference what men think of war. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way. All other trades are contained in that of war. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.
this is pretty cringeworthy desu

It is cringeworthy to young boys. Their closest experience of war was getting a wedgie from their school bully.

killing, pillaging, and oppressing those weaker than you has literally always been war.
the book's "war" of them killing and scalping is almost entirely murdering, robbing, and raping people who are not combatants.

Is it wrong?
The entire history of mankind is basically an encyclopedia of one war to the next, one of the oldest pieces of literature from the Greeks that this board jerks off to daily is about a war, I don't see this changing anytime soon.
