"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my 
contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the 
spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be 
done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the 
loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate 
all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to 
shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing 
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
- Albert Einstein
