War

Is war ever a good thing? Is there any cause for which you would go to war?

War can be good or bad depending on how it is looked at. In the sense that people are dying and cities are being razed it is a bad thing. But the side that wins, depending on how they won and how many casualties they have, it can be a good thing, because sometimes they get land and even control over the opposing side’s government. Also in a sense World War II was a good thing for the USA because it gave lots of people jobs and pulled our country out of the great depression. While WW II was in a sense good for the US, it was devastating to almost all of Europe and Russia. Germany controlled most of the countries in Europe and many cities and towns suffered a ton of damage. Not to mention what happened to the Jewish people of Europe. Then on he other side I guess that WW II was a productive time for the Nazis. They came close to taking over Europe and wiped many Jewish families off of the world. So I believe that war is mainly a bad thing but if looked at from a certain perspective, it can be good.
The only time that I would consider going to war would be if the US got attacked on its home soil and needed more people to defend its borders. War is a messy thing and I would rather not have it directly in my life. If I did go to war though I would join the navy or be someone who directs things from a bunker or command center, not necessarily a leader though.
