George Santayana

It is war that wastes a nation’s wealth, chokes its industries, kills its flower, narrows its sympathies, condemns it to be governed by adventurers, and leaves the puny, deformed, and unmanly to breed the next generation.

George Santayana,  The Life of Reason: Reason in Society, (1905), p. 82.
