Opinion on war?

Question

After studying WW1 in relation to mental health with literature produced from a variety of positions I'm a pacifist.

Imo violence is pointless because the people killed are innocent soldiers being used as pawns by the minority that caused it. Even if it's voluntary and not drafted the soldiers are never told the full story and are just fighting other innocents who are 'protecting their country' from what they've been told, too. It's cruel, barbaric and outdated.

Just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are.

Answer

What's barbaric is letting a terrorist infiltrate your country and kill hundreds of innocent people and not doing a damn thing about it.

Answer

War is a stain on the history of humanity.

Answer

You people really believe that soldiers are just a bunch of clueless, brainwashed morons don't you?

Answer

I am 100% against war!!

Answer

"I confess, without shame, I am sick and tired of fighting—its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands and fathers ... 'tis only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated ... that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."
— General William Tecumseh Sherman, speech to the Michigan Military Academy class of 1874.

Answer

People who are terrorist don't listen to people who don't like violence. Clearly.

Answer

In a perfect world I'd be completely against war. Sadly, that's not the case. Sometimes war and violence is the only answer. Sometimes we have to sacrifice our lives for a better future, a future that's safer for our children.

I hate war, but sometimes it's the only option.

Answer

Against many of the battles we have picked but 100% support the troops.

Answer

I'm a veteran, I don't fully support nor oppose war. What do you propose as an alternative?

Until we find that magical solution, war can be a necessary evil but should be the last resort.

Answer

Wars are stupid. The only reason we need to go to war is if some stupid fuck like hitler starts killing innocent people, and someone needs to stop that person. Even then, it’s excessive to wipe cities off the map because of that. If people could talk these things out, a lot of lives could be saved.
