They famously never gave it to Gandhi too, in spite of him being nominated 5 times [1]. It's crazy to me that Kissinger got it, but not Gandhi.

Truly wild. Gandhi lived and breathed peace, almost to a fault. Kissinger is one of the last people on Earth among his contemporary to deserve it.

Kissinger's actions lead to a whole hell of a lot of people achieving the peace of the grave. I don't think that's what Alfred Nobel had in mind for the prize.
