When a war occurs, there will be death, hunger, spreading of diseases, poverty, fear, basically everything that humans naturally avoid. So, of course war is something that people care about, and try to avoid. If people could just move about freely during a war, not so many lives would not have been lost. During the Japanese invasion of Malaysia, do you think Malaysians could just go wherever they like? There were checkpoints everywhere and they had strict control on movement and curfews.

Just because we are all going to die doesn't mean we should just war happen. Death is unavoidable, but the number of deaths during a war is much higher than during peace time. The effects of war are undesirable so why do you advocate war?



It's just like saying since we will get hungry eventually, even after eating, why bother eating?

IMO, it would be better if a humanities sub-forum is opened as this discussion is not really science-based but more ethics, moral and philosophy based.
