Discussion
Recalling Jim Kenney - peace is more than the absence of war. It’s something we work at before the outbreak of war. What can we do in the interest of peace, given what we have learned from the narrative of War Made Easy?

War has a terrible human cost; 80% of modern casualties are noncombatants. How did our society become so dissociated from the violence we beget?
