“In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” —James Madison, 4th president of the United States (1809–1817)1 “Militarism, a common feature of breakdown and disintegration, is frequently effective in increasing a society’s command both over other the living societies and over the inanimate forces of nature.” —Arnold J. Toynbee.2
