The following issue is what we are going to discuss. Most of the people who (26) most often and (27) gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, (28) the people who really helped civilization (29) are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first (30) a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or (31) the length of the year, or (32) a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a (33) deal of them, so much so that (34) all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. (35) I think most people believe that the (36) countries are those that have beaten in baffle the greatest number of other countries and ruled (37) them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilizeD、Animals fight’, so (38) savages. Then to be good at fighting is to be good (39) in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilizeD、Even being good at getting other people (40) for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently--this (41) is what conquerors and generals have done—is not (42) . People fight to (43) quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than (44) seeing which side can kill off the greater (45) of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won.And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
