Summary

This quote by Winston Churchill encapsulates the grim reality of war. It suggests that, despite the inherent brutality and devastation of conflicts, a certain level of detachment and resilience is necessary for survival. The phrase "war is a game" highlights the strategic and tactical nature of warfare, where participants are often required to maintain a facade of confidence and remain determined in the face of adversity. Churchill's message advises those who may lack that emotional fortitude to avoid getting involved in war until they are mentally prepared to face its harsh realities.
