Mary O'Hare on 'War'

"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs" (Slaughter-House-Five, p. 14).


I think Mary O'Hare is right because they enlist guys when they are 18,19,20 yrs. old according to our parents we don't even know what we want yet. War is not to be loved.
