What is it good for? - Kyle W

Is there a time for war? Yes, I believe there certainly is. Now does this mean that I believe that countries or sides should go to war over any little disagreement? No, because that is not at all what I believe. In my opinion war is not always appropriate but there are times when it can be. The revolutionary war, for example; without it the United States would not be what is today. That war is what separated this great country from Great Britain so many years ago and without it who knows how things would have turned out. But even more than that it was a war fought by the people of this country who believed they were being wronged and so they did have a right to protest and even to fight back once nothing was done for them. Another example would be WW11. Fighting against the Nazis. That is also a just reason for a war in my opinion because if it is possible for a man to create an army and turn a country against an entire race then that man must be stopped and because he has an army there must be an opposing army to eradicate his because what would have happened if the world simply let Hitler rule? If they let him put all jews in concentration camps? If they let him expand his domain? That is why there is war. Humans by nature always come back to war because we are violent and emotional beings and will not agree on things and so there will be war. Sometimes it may be unjust but that does not mean that it always is. It can be avoided. But not always, and it shouldn’t always be.
