mietla... I believe that all Ike was saying is that war wastes resources and that we had better have a pretty good cause when we go to war to outweigh the inevitable suffering...
most people would agree with that. I think tho that by taking it out of context that strk is trying to make a point that has nothing to do with what Ike said.

no, I think you stated exactly what it says. It kinds of puts the perspective on efforts that are beyond the money that is spent.
As I said, I do not know the original context, so I have no foundation to question anything. but the way it is presented in your sig, the quote seems seriously mangled. Typical emotions over facts and reason. I have a really hard time to believe that a real person could actually say anything like that. Only a serious demagog and ideolog could come up with such a statement. It is clearly manufactured, not reasoned.
