About this Quote
This quote by Alphonse Allais is referring to the truth that throughout times of war, the death rate of those in the military increases substantially. This indicates that more individuals in the military are passing away than in times of peace. This could be due to a range of elements, such as increased combat, more hazardous missions, and a greater danger of injury or death.
