Quote by Mark Twain..."There has never been a just war"

"There has never been a just [war], never an honorable one--on the part of the instigator of the war."

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Of course, the US government since it's founding have cleverly schemed, manipulated then maniacally hoped for events to occur and appear as though warranting thus necessitating military actions promulgated and propagandized as justified defense, humanitarian intervention or calculated preemption, nevertheless instigators from the outset.

Mark Twain was ardently anti-war, even served briefly as an officer for the American Anti-Imperialist League. It is said, his posthumously published piece The War Prayer was a backhanded indictment against the Spanish-American War as well the immediately proceeding and little-known Filipino-American War.

As unaware Americans are of the aforementioned atrocities as well others committed by the US government, victims and descendants have not forgotten (i.e. Philippine President Duterte's numerous references).
