“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every
rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger
and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in
arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its
laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This
is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of
war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
—Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States and Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, WWII.
