"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, science for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -Albert Einstein.

Good ol' Albert was perfectly ok with developing a nuke for the purpose of killing Germans, but deplored its use against the Japanese.
But it is a killer quote, i just wish i didnt know as much as i know about crap like this.
Much love brother.
