What do you think about war?

Modern war is usually war of attrition, and is hard to justify morally. I think that there are occasionally situations where war is justified, but the practice of war, the execution, ends up being a very ugly affair for those involved.

I hate WAR! I want their to be peace on earth, I want to see the day when all the nations come together and meet. when we all love each other even though we are different.

history has proven time and again that ‘diplomacy’ does not work in all cases.

sometimes you just have to use brute force to implement change.

war is horrifying and terrible- and should always remain that way- and should always be the final option.

the modern world has been shaped by warfare, the lives of many have been saved because of our willingness to lay it all on the line to back what is believed to be right. there have been some wars that may have been avoided throughout history- but nevertheless it made everyone alive today who they are. all of the rights we hold so dear have all been paid for in blood- I do not believe that ‘diplomacy” would have ever achieved the same results.

I believe in “carrying a big stick- and using it” on whoever forces our hand to do so.

If they are intent on coming in and taking everything you have and your life, certainly you can choose to sit there and let them - when the smoke clears the question can be asked how’d that ‘never an option’ work for ya ? - talking ?, try that with todays terrorists and see if they lay down their weapons and honor their part of the treaty you put together…my humble opinion.

Of course war isn’t a good thing, and no I don’t LIKE the idea of war, but I’ve realized that there’s just no way everyone is just going to sit and play nice. People are naturally greedy, and even though war is devastating and tragic, it will always be there, and it always HAS been there. Some people just seem to think that its the only way to get things accomplished, and you can’t change their mind for them.

My position on war is, it’s virtually never justified.

War is just like the law it has no purpose in a perfect world last time I checked this world was not so perfect. In world war II I don’t think It would have ben smart to let those who were dominating and destroying the world into the position to oppress it. When elephants fight the grass suffers. I fear that the world is getting so populated and has so many people in it that that it’s resources may not sustain us all. If that happens everyone will be fighting not to starve. The planet does not get any bigger or smaller but with more and more people there is just less in it.

im very anti war I dont see why everyone cant just get along.
