War

Is war good? Sometimes. Is war bad? More than sometimes. War is often fought with debatably bad intentions, ie. Resources, ethnic cleansing, religious differences, etc. But, war can be fought for good reasons as well. If there is a nation that is either planning to attack your home country, or is attempting genocide on a race of people, I believe war is a worthwhile ordeal. Does this make it morally okay? Well, that is subjective; however, I for one believe that it is simply the lesser of two evils. This is because war is bloody and far from glorious; there are no morals in killing many people. There is justification of these actions though. Most times, war is fought over the aforementioned bad reasons however. One group either hates the other for being heretics, or having different beliefs. Killing for the sake of killing is just bad, unless you are Charles Manson or Jason Vorhees. But when it comes down to self-defense, and you are protecting yourself from others’ bad intentions, you have no choice but to grit your teeth and fight.
