That is still happening today in some parts of the world. I am anti-war but honest enough to admit I shall take up arms to defend my family if it is ever put at any risk of death, but only then.
The valiant men and women who died (and die) in wars should be commended for their bravery. I wonder too how many had no choice (whether they believe in that war or not). Sadly, they are not the only victims, the parents, wives and children are victims too, lives destroyed by wars because humans prefer to fight than settle their differences by using their intelligence to communicate and reach an agreement in a pacific way.
I don't agree with the last one. I believe God has nothing to do with the undertaking man takes upon himself when in war. This is my personal belief, God is a creator of all beautiful and positive things and evil is the destroyer of all things, a universe ruled by 2 opposing powerful forces. I am open enough to consider the possibility that they are limited to just that, one can only create and the other to only destroy. Yet humans easily condemn the creator for not stopping the destroyer...what if he can't? Does that make him any less of a creator of beautiful and positive things, such as life, the earth, the aimals, air, water, love , peace? Why don't people curse the evil destroyer ? They would easily mock a God who creates than mock a destroyer that kills, starts wars, fights,make humans mad with lust, fury and greed and envy. Why isn't that dark force cursed and condemned the way the God of believers is ? Proof, they say, without one, they can't believe. The faithless are blind, for proof is everywhere, if they only care to see. War is created by evil and we should be strong enough as the special beings that we are to not fall in its trap.
