'[I abhor the] worst outcrop of the herd nature, the military system ... That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that does by the name of patriotism - how I hate them!'

Albert Einstein - from his essay The world as I see it.
