Quote by Ian Hay

War is hell and all that, but it has a good deal to recommen

Summary

This quote seems to juxtapose the brutality and horrors of war with the perceived benefits in eliminating everyday annoyances associated with times of peace. It suggests that while war is undeniably terrible, it also serves as a remedy for the trivial problems and frustrations people face during peaceful periods. The quote highlights the twisted view that the destruction and chaos of conflict have their own appeal, as they can provide a temporary escape from the monotonous concerns of daily life.
