The purpose of warfare is to produce dead bodies, then to honor soldiers for having died. When soldiers die, this allows human beings to build memorials, honoring these dead soldiers.

Warfare represents a testimonial to the greatness of one's nation, which "lives on" as long as people continue to die in its name.

The deaths of soldiers and memorials built to honor these dead soldiers proves the existence of the nation-state, testifying to its reality and omnipotence.
