I can't think of something more horrific than war off the top of my head, and when it's over Doctrines about God that you can't prove to be true, that is extremely stupid!

Though I would say the crusades to kick the Moors out of France in the battle of Tours with Charles Martel and following battles were justified as an act of self-defense.

I'd say the hundreds of years Spanish Christians fought to reclaim Spain, which was almost conquered by Moors, was a just cause.

Even the Crusades for the holy land, which I don't agree with, were still fought to recapture land that Muslims conquered with the sword.

Crusaders defeated Ottoman Turkish aggression in the Naval battle of Lepanto, which may have saved all of Italy from becoming a Muslim country with harsh oppressive laws , without religious freedom.

Communism was also very violent and aggressive, and I think a lot of South Koreans are happy America intervened, at the time when almost all of South Korea had fallen to Communists.

Without American and Allied intervention, all of Korea would likely be run by Kim Jong Un today.

Without the Allies defending themselves and American intervention, imagine Earth during the late 30's 40's or the cold war period?

So, sometimes military intervention accomplished the greater good.

A lot of the men are drafted and brainwashed into violently killing people in another uniform who they otherwise might get along with. That sucks? It's terrible! Any questions?

Wars are always "justified" in some way or other.
Human civilization has spent the better part of 5000 years coming up with various reasons to kill people.

In the 20th Century, can you think of a group that had a higher kill-count than people who called themselves "Socialist"?

I notice that "Yes" only has four votes, but "Yes" has zero votes.

I voted yes, but I didn't understand the question. I wonder if I should have voted yes instead, but I didn't want to battle over it.

It's easy to play "what if." I've read that if the Ottoman Turks had lowered the price of pepper, there would have been no Atlantic crossing by Columbus, which would mean no USA.

If the capitalists of Europe had not been so pig-headed, there would have been no World War I, and thus, no Russian Revolution or rise of Nazism in Germany. Then there would have been no WW2 or Cold War (which would include Korea and Vietnam).

According to Patton, it sucks when war is over.

@JustGeorge
Patton's first name was George btw

Also, another interesting fact is, after making that thread about George Hawkins Shrines, I went for a walk and found a blue shirt at a nearby bridge that was brand name "George", created by George Davies.

Whether it was a sign or not, I suppose Durga and George knows :p, but still, I cherish those coincidences at any rate. :)

I see ties all the time with the 'George' label, and it confuses me, because that isn't my tie...

Though I do have a skirt with the label, and that makes more sense to me.

If Patton says it sucks when war is over, I wonder if its because he doesn't have anything better to do with his time. Though I disagree with him; war is a tragedy.
