Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms.

“i believe we should get the war over,” i said. “it would not finish it if one side stopped fighting. it would only be worse if we stopped fighting.”
“it could not be worse,” passini said respectfully. “there is nothing worse than war.”
“defeat is worse.”
“i do not believe it,” passini said still respectfully. “what is defeat? you go home.”
“they come after you. they take your home. they take your sisters.”
“i don’t believe it,” passini said. “they can’t do that to everybody. let everybody defend his home. let them keep their sisters in the house.”
“they hang you. they come and make you be a soldier again. not in the auto-ambulance, in the infantry.”
