Reply #6: Fortunes of War

[patriotvoice]

The damage done to all these places
is quite... unbelievable!
You have never seen such pain
walking through bombed cities.

A cancerous civilization:
fed on its own body.
It is never healing, yet
somehow not quite dying.

You never could win a war
that's what you have to learn.
Here everybody is a loser;
you will get nothing in return.

Thousands of men died on both sides
and this is the greatest loss.
The cities can be built again,
but there is no hope for all these men.

Civilian targets were also bombed --
wives and children died as well.
We destroy our own future:
How could you say you won a war?

You never could win a war
that's what you have to learn.
Here everybody is a loser;
you will get nothing in return.
