EINSTEIN QUOTE

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." ~ Albert Einstein

Ironic, no?  I mean, considering his unwitting contribution to the atomic bomb.  Well, even smart people learn later rather than sooner...
...then again, could there be justification(s) for war?
