In 1942 Orwell published an essay about Kipling in which he referred to a phrase in the poem “Tommy”:
“A humanitarian is always a hypocrite, and Kipling’s understanding of this is perhaps the central secret of his power to create telling phrases. It would be difficult to hit off the one-eyed pacifism of the English in fewer words than in the phrase, ‘making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep’.” https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/07/rough-men/#note-2950-4
