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?
Bluebeard by Kurt
Vonnegut, Ch. 8
