War
War is a state of armed conflict between states or societies. It is generally characterized by extreme aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces. Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general. Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant suffering and casualties.
War
Lo, steel-clad War his gorgeous standard rears !
The red-cross squadrons madly rage,
And mow thro' infancy and age...
Samuel Rogers, Ode to Superstition III.2. (1786).
War
Napoleon healed through sword and fire the sick nation.
Heinrich Heine. See Scherer, History of German Literature, II. 116.
War
Est ist hier wie in den alten Zeiten
Wo die Klinge noch alles that bedeuten.
It is now as in the days of yore when the sword ruled all things.
