They also share the Barsoomian philosophy of perpetual war as a good and commendable state, as illustrated by the words of Gefasto, the Commander in Chief of the Veltopismakusian armed forces: > We must have war. As we have found that there is no enduring happiness in > peace or virtue, let us have a little war and a little sin. A pudding that > is all of one ingredient is nauseating—it must be seasoned, it must be > spiced, and before we can enjoy the eating of it to the fullest we must be > forced to strive for it. War and work, the two most distasteful things in > the world, are, nevertheless, the most essential to the happiness and the > existence of a people.
