Alright, you asked for it Red. lol War is something that to this corrupted human race is important, we have a need for it inside for some reason, a want for power. The reason that it may seem that we are forced and brainwashed to fight, is simply because when faced with hostility, a nation, or group of people, of even just yourself must be forced to fight, or lose. In a war situation, not fighting, is dying. So why can't we all lay down our arms and use diplomacy? Like I stated before, people need power. If all were to lay down arms, the one to pick them up again would have absolute power, at no cost to them. To stop that, everyone else would have to do the same. Why can't we overcome this desire for power? Because, in human nature, power and survival are linked. Anyways, my point is, when fighting in a war, you're fighting for yourself, and those who are close to you, or important to you. Notice how all of those have something to do with you. Even if you are given a gun, and thrown out there in the field, you don't have to pull the trigger. You do it either for power, or for that which is precious to you, even if it's at the scope of nations, not merely because you've been convinced or forced into it by those truly in power. Anyways, that was a bit vague, if you disagree, I'm fine with that. ^^ G'day.
