War is a tough topic for me. It goes against all morals that I've ever been taught, but when it comes to protecting your country against a nation that refuses to solve conflict with non-violence, I don't think you have a choice. What would be the point of armies and navies if they didn't protect their citizens. So I think my opinion on war is a little in between. Just like everything else, there's a time and a place.
When it comes to your country's citizens safety, and you've tried all other options to reduce conflict, I think you have no choice but to go to war. War is also about politics, which I don't understand, nor agree with. I hate that America gets involved in EVERYTHING. Why can't we mind our own business and keep to ourselves. We risk the lives of our soldiers in order to protect other countries and stay the main political power. I don't agree with it.
I think we could try a little harder when it comes to resolving conflicts with non-violence. We could try the concept of compromising. It seems as though when we don't get our way, we send out our troops and ask them to risk their lives, just so we will get what we want. I don't know much about war, or politics, but from the outside looking in, I don't like the way it looks.
