What do you think of war?
I'm doing an art project based on war and I need other people's opinions on the subject.
Also, if you could say whether or not you have been personally affected by war, that would be very helpful!

Anyway, if you want an alternative viewpoint, it might be an idea to check out some of those flag waving Americans you always see before any war and see why they seem to be so keen to go to war all the time.
Well actually, every major problem caused by a gun has been solved by a gun. Not quite the same thing.
Sadly very few. Most of them have only been had to serve the nationalistic, imperialistic, religious or egomaniac urges of the rulers of tribes and nations.
Arguably the most pointless of them all must be WWI. That's why every last soldier shot for cowardice should receive a pardon- and every officer who gave orders to charge machine gun nests and senselessly sent thousands of men to a certain death should be posthumously shamed and stipped of all medals and honours.
War often speeds up technological innovation.

But overall war is bad ..:(
Interesting idea but where does such an exercise end? The Boer War? The Crimean War? Should an army of historians be employed by the state to search for the many historical acts of injustice so pardons can be issued and men who've been dead for decades or even centuries shamed?
I'm not sure that present governments should be passing official judgement on the acts of their predecessors in war ninety odd years ago.
Except for advaning technonolgy and being resposible of some of the best discoveries inb mediacl science.
In any case, if a god came down and gave me the choice of keeping wars and benefiting from faster technological advances, or eradicating war from the Earth forever but losing out on some technological breakthroughs, I'd say 'fuck the war' faster than a heartbeat.
I like being able to cook food in 30 seconds in a "radar" box and I like being able to talk to people on the other side of the planet using my man portable radio.
Bring on the destruction MUHAHAHAHA.;)
What about the animals? :crying: Its a bit unfair to throw the baby out with the bath water.
