It all started with a simple thought: "let's build something for our children". But that simple thought never crossed their minds. I'm very convinced that they are not human.

I was the sort of kid that would ask "Why?" and I never stopped.
"Why did Hitler invade Poland?" I asked my brother. He said something about "He wanted more land."
"Why did he want more land?" "Maybe he wanted more people."
"Why would he want people that hated him? Wouldn't it be more trouble than it was worth? What, did he try to enslave the Polish?" "Stop asking stupid questions!"
"War is bad" they say.
"Why is war bad?" "Because people die."
"What sorts of people die?" "Good people."
"Good people want to go out and fight in a war?" "No, good people try to avoid fighting in war."
"Then what sorts of people go to war?" "Oh, maybe bloodthirsty people who want to fight and kill."
"Is it bad if they die?" "No, not really. We really can't have a peaceful society with a bunch of belligerent people walking around. I guess war is good after all."
God created the human race. He set us up in a particular situation and gave us our assignment. As part of that assignment, never ONCE did he say "Don't go to war." In fact, several times in the Bible he challenges men to go to war, in fact, threatens them that if they don't WIN, it's because they're weak and retarded and wicked and God won't protect them.
War isn't bad. It isn't even evil. It is necessary and good, when done the right way.
There is always going to be a part of our young men who grow up with unconstrained passion and energy, who are eager to fight and kill or to show the world that they are better than everyone else. War is the ideal situation for these people, to pit their mettle against other men of a similar type with no rules whatsoever except to win at all costs. When the fighting is done, it is because they have spent up all of their energy and want no part of war anymore, and they come home wounded or broken but humbled and ready to start a family and plow the fields. Some young men realize the inevitable conclusion earlier than others, and would rather skip the "war" part and go directly to building families and farms.

> # "In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgia's, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed; but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock".

But aside from that, they are low-IQ, aggressive, vile, primitive creatures that are a menace to us much worse than feral animals ever could be.
