War is fear cloaked in courage.

War is fear cloaked in courage.

Summary

This quote suggests that while war may appear to be an act of bravery and strength, it is ultimately driven by fear. It implies that courage is only a facade, used to hide the underlying fear that compels individuals and nations to engage in warfare. This perspective challenges the notion that war is an act of heroic valor, instead highlighting the darker and more fearful motivations that lie at its core.
