Failure

No catalogue of horrors ever kept men from war. Before the war you always think that it's not you that dies. But you will die, brother, if you go to it long enough.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY, "Notes on the Next War," Esquire, Sep. 1935

War is behavior with roots in the single cell of the primeval seas. Eat whatever you touch or it will eat you.
FRANK HERBERT, Chapterhouse: Dune

There was a battle being fought above us, somewhere between the stars. We looked at the sky with fear; the air felt too heavy to speak. What if this time the space ships were coming back only to say: "We lost"?

Slightly similar to the last one, but well, I've been reading way too much sci-fi lately. Hope you like it.
