“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing that is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” (John Stewart Mill)

“Pacifists are among the most immoral of men - they make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have.” (Patrick Henry)

“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.” (Thomas Paine)

The greatest injustice of our age is that people naively believe diplomacy will win over an insane, megalomaniacal enemy; that these same naive people try to run our military, hampering it with outmoded rules by which only our side is bound; and when, due to that naivete, the military is forced against its better judgment and recommendations to stop fighting before the victory is secured, these same naive people blame the military.

All true warriors hate war. War is failed diplomacy.


MikeGolf
No.

A greater injustice is when people sit idly by and tolerate tyranny and injustice.

Look at Iraq for example. US troops are fighting to protect the Iraqi people and allow them to have the form of government they chose in UN certified elections - but the liberals want us to abandon the Iraqi people to the people who bomb mosques and schools.

Disagree.

War is the reason our country exists sweety! Ever heard of the American Revolution? And why we celebrate Independence Day (4th of July)? War is hell, but war is necessary.


Kai R
disagree

though war is horrible, people have been doing it for thousands of years and it's not about to stop. it's human nature, I guess, but a sicker part of human nature that makes us want to kill each other.

the greatest injustice of our age is that there are still poor, starving countries out there, even though we have the technology to improve them and we're not doing anything.


atrak
agree .. totally

They say war is necessary, but is it necessary to kill innocent women and children, as so often happens?



I disagree. Abortion kills far more innocent and vulnerable people than war, according to Amendment 48 on the Colorado ballot in November. More than a million abortions are induced in this nation every year. It's catastrophic.


EYE
AGREE


The Walk
war has always existed and always will

Not even close. Abortion is, however.
