What Is It Good For? - Grae Chambers

War stories have long plagued the history of our nation. Brave men and women lose their lives over seas every day. And for what? Is it a love of country, a need for purpose, or is it a desire to fight? I believe that war is some what of a necessary evil. There is a time and place for war. It's the last desperate milisecond. This is a time that should only come around once in a life time, but the higher ups of our world make the decision to battle much too hastily. There are many alternatives to war that should be considered, but almost never are. Treaties are historically known as end of war acts, but could just as easily be placed to avoid war all together. Force is often seen as the most effective way to  War is never morally justifiable, but more of a lesser of two evils. Good people die in wars, and bad people. That's the idea. But who gets to judge who's good and who's bad? It's not me and it's not you and I don't think it's the government either, but they're the ones who have it in their job description.
