You can't have war if there is empathy. My views on war were heavily shaped by Gwynnr Dyer's series on war https://youtu.be/P_G2u1RrLOk?si=CYHzTj3yy7hLzCZQ, in particular, "every mother's son"

I need to sit and watch this. I've read some of Dyer's work, but haven't watched any of his docs. Between you and Roy citing him here, I haven't heard his name mentioned so much in ages. (It's a good thing!)
