About this Quote

This quote by George McGovern is an effective declaration about the tragedy of war. It talks to the injustice of sending out boys and ladies to eliminate in wars that are dreamed up by old guys who are far gotten rid of from the truths of battle. It talks to the concept that those who are not straight affected by war are the ones who are probably to promote for it. McGovern's quote is a pointer that war should never ever be taken lightly which the lives of young people ought to never be sacrificed for the aspirations of the old. It is a call to action for those in power to believe carefully before sending out youths to fight in wars that are not essential. It is a pointer that war ought to always be a last resort which the lives of young people should never ever be taken for given.
