Morality

What it remains

In his book “Men, Women and War” Martin van Creveld writes: “Before it was anything else, war was an assertion of masculinity. When everything is said and done, an assertion of masculinity is what it remains.” This is offensive to many, conservative idealists and Marxists to name just a few, but it is true.
First comes the assertion of masculinity, then the morality.
