Wise sounding phrase I don't recall writing.

The true horror of war, I think, is not that it is unjust and awful, it's that it leads us to confront the fact that war isn't exceptional, that the random cruelty and mayhem aren't restricted to certain times and places, but are actually the norm. War is different only because it's more frequent and deliberate.
