There is no just war.
Absolutely none. But yes, police action does sometimes become necessary. In that case, why not call it 'covert operations' like a good U.S. president? I happen to prefer lies and stealth to wars. Wars are lies and stealth anyway, but I hate how every war needs justification. Covert operations, on the other hand, are inherently unjustified and have something undoubtedly wrong about them, so needs no justification in the first place. Well, enough sarcasm. But there is probably something terribly wrong with anything that needs a lot of justification. That I know. Haha. Can't laugh.
Unfortunately, wars are profitable. But so are other things....
Need an outlet? Please play sports. Or games. Or instruments. You can kick soccer balls, but not people's heads. You can molest the piano keys all you want (well, even that only to a certain point), but not people's sensibilities.
Need goals? Have you read all the biographies in your nearest library? If so, I'm sure you can find more on Amazon.com.
Need money? Yes, more money has to go into education. Not just tuition, but also living expenses while people study.
Bravery? Then do not make war, go to war, or try to justify any war. Brave people do not fight. They think and feel. Learn that they are not immortal. Understand and accept that their lives and values are actually neither heavier nor lighter than the others'.
But not to say that we are small. We are big. Big problems, big hearts. But so are other people and their problems, their hearts.
So there. You can't have everything. Justify, or lose. "I choose lose," Metty said. But she added, "And it isn't even losing." But yes, once you are in that mindset, it's hard to tell the difference between winning and losing.
There is no evil in the world. There is only the perception of evil. Now that, is everywhere.
