Bluebeard I

That was an ordinary way for a patriotic American to talk back then. It's hard to believe how sick of war we used to be. We used to boast of how small our Army and Navy were, and how little influence generals and admirals had in Washington. We used to call armaments manufacturers 'Merchants of Death.'

Can you imagine that?

-Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard
