“The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.”

As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.
And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war, during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.
The choice, however, is as clear now for nations as it was once for the individual: peace or extinction.
It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.
