“I think there's a tremendous split between people who've been through a war and people who haven't.”

My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor.
I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.
The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15, 000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!
War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
