Reply to comment by Sassy-irish-lassy in TIL of the Pig War, a border dispute between the US and the UK, around Vancouver Island (present-day Canada) and Washington State. The only casualty was a pig, owned by an Irish farmer, which was shot by an American farmer for eating his potatoes. Both countries deployed military troops. by drak0bsidian

Yeah, but everyone in hell deserves to be there. Most victims of war are innocent.

True, but I think the saying is meant to just say how absolutely horrific war is. Since hell is supposed to be the worst thing man can imagine.
