the first half of his career was quite spectacular however.
perhaps i should use an example more palatable for the wider /pol/ack audience.
can you think of any austrians who, after participating in the devastation that was WWI, went on to achieve very great things?
war is almost always a net negative when looked at from most perspectives.
but it seems to breed a certain type of person, out of necessity, that can then go on to achieve things that most people could never dream of. these people are a byproduct of senseless destruction and yet they seem to be a vital component of the "revolutionary birth/death" cycle that anon was talking about.
like a miniature, geopolitical version of the yugas
