Si vis pacem, para bellum

The phrase “If you want peace, prepare for war” translates from the Latin “Si vis pacem, para bellum.” It implies that being strong and ready for conflict is a way to deter potential aggressors and thus maintain peace. This philosophy suggests that the best way to ensure peace is through strength and preparedness, as potential adversaries are less likely to attack if they perceive a strong and capable defense.

  1. I’ve never fired a real gun ever in my life:

    I win the hearts and minds of the poor by giving them cigarettes.

    Suppresses their appetite cuz they are starving.

    The US military investigated building a “gay bomb”, which would make enemy soldiers “sexually irresistible” to each other, government papers say.
    Other weapons that never saw the light of day include one to make soldiers obvious by their bad breath.

    The US defence department considered various non-lethal chemicals meant to disrupt enemy discipline and morale.

    The 1994 plans were for a six-year project costing $7.5m, but they were never pursued.

    The US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called “harassing, annoying and ‘bad guy’-identifying chemicals”.

    The plans were obtained under the US Freedom of Information by the Sunshine Project, a group which monitors research into chemical and biological weapons.

    ‘Who? Me?’

    The plan for a so-called “love bomb” envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a “distasteful but completely non-lethal” blow to morale.
