Haha, when i talk about war i love to say "For the winner the potatoes!"
Why?
In a land not very far, there are two kingdoms, the kingdom A and kingdom B, there are two fields of potatoes. The kingdom A and B cant divide the first field of potatoes, because they would not have forces to arrive in the second field of potatoes, then the kingdom A kills the kingdom B to eat all the potatoes and have the strength to come in the second field of potatoes.
For the winner the potatoes, for the loser forgotten.
This is what i like to say "REALISM", read "Quincas Borba" from Machado de Assis, great book!
