Quote by Eisenhower, "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived is can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity", is translated through google translate through the languages that took me to war and back. By the time the quote makes it though it's 5th translation the sentiment of the original quote is inverses itself to state "I have not seen the atrocities, it's useless, it's stupid, I hate alive to do it, organized the war."
