Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. Il va de soi que les gens ne veulent pas de la guerre. Pourquoi un pauvre bon à rien dans une ferme voudrait risquer sa vie dans une guerre lorsque le mieux qu'il peut en retirer est de revenir dans sa ferme en un seul morceau ? Naturellement, les gens du commun ne veulent pas de la guerre ; ni en Russie, ni en Angleterre, ni en Amérique, pas non plus en Allemagne, en l'occurrence, ça va de soi.
