The Art of War Is Not the Same As Natural Law (But Wise Men May Still Reap, From Law To War) (But Not the Reverse)

I don't believe
that war is
necessary
natural, but
neither do I
believe that
we can do
without it,
that it's
something
we can just
work out of
our system.

I believe it
has its Value,
in that,
last resort
or not,
it is sometimes
necessary,
because people
hardly if
ever behave
as rationally
as others
expect,
however
irrationally.

War is not
natural,
just as
"survival
of the fittest"
is a tired
slogan that
really has
nothing to
do with
evolution,
but its
root causes
are.

War is a
symptom
of survival,
the basic
natural law,
but it is
not necessary,
yet to dismiss
it and make
it grotesque
(more than
it is)
is more
unnatural
than war
itself.

That is all
I'm trying
to say.
