Quotes from Sebastian Junger, War

War is life multiplied by some number that no one has ever heard of.

War is a lot of things and it's useless to pretend that exciting isn't one of them. (pg. 144)

The army consists of the first infantry division and eight million replacements.

...much of modern military tactics is geared toward maneuvering the enemy into a position where they can essentially be massacred from safety. (pg. 140)
