War: what is it good for?


I came across this painting on a wall in Peckham. The image is powerful and the words puzzling. If war’s not a man’s thing, it certainly ain’t a woman’s thing. Does it mean that war is a technology thing… played out with and by  machinery? For sure, the soldier is lumbered with weaponry and gadgets. Or does it mean that being a man does not equate with being a warrior? Whatever. It’s a statement to stop you and start a debate, even if only with yourself.
