hmm

good reason: defence of your OWN country!

 

[DontEatAnAnimal]

Good = Against Genecide, Threats of terrorism "such as afghanistan", Larger countries invading smaller countries for no reason such as desert storm.

Bad = Disputing Politics, ...OIL... and other resources, To try to finish up what your father didn't.





" I AGREE WITH ERIC " "FAULTY INTELLEGENTS"

 

[silent driller]

Anyone ever see the shrirt that says-

Except for ending Slavery, Facism, am, and Communism,

WAR NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING!


I think Imperialism is a good reason to go to war.

Let's fight ya sumabitch! I don't like you very much... I declare war on FutureRANGER!!! :rambo:

Fighting someone like Hitler would be an excellent reason but I can't think of any others.

Well thats enough of a reason I think

 

[Endiminion]

I know I will be getting off topic here.
Personally I believe in defending one's self, and to honor your country by defending it from attacks. However, careful consideration has to be put into really deciding why someone would attack us. Most people never think of the reasons as to why someone would hate anyone so much, enough to attack them. It could be for money, for power, convinience, or just because you hate what they do, and what they bring to the world.
I myself don't believe in any god, and I like wars just as much as any strategist. But I know that I would rather not judge a human life, because I believe I have no right to. I cannot say how much I am worth, and I certainly cannot say whether another human being really should die. We are humans, humans make mistakes.

War is always going to happen, it is human nature. War has no honor anymore, with the way people use guns, and long range missles, you are no longer required to meet the enemy face to face, and show them who you really are, a proud representative of your country, that is willing to die for it. War only solves things temporarily, but it only perpetuates itself eventually. Just remember, that war does not prove who is right, war proves who is left.

 

[ENRG]

Good:
- "Rescuing" a Contry from another EVIL one (Define 'evil'.. I have no idea..)
- Liberating an entire nation from Tyrani (Like Iraq)
- End to terror.

Bad:
- Money
- More money
- Oil
- Even more oil
- Power-urge

fftopic:

- Being bored
- Feel like it

 

[Bootboy82]

Good reason:

To defend your country if it is attacked by an hostile force


Bad reason:

Everything else...

 

[cPFC/SAJROTC]

Good Reason:

Retaliatory Action against a direct attacker
To aid oppressed people after diplomacy has failed



Bad Reason:

False Information
Dated Information
Lack of Information
Bloodlust
Diplomacy has not been tried
Attacking a soverign nation without having full and complete intel and support from allies.


Examples:

Good Reason: Afghanistan, Somalia, Darfur (Sudan, potential future deployment), Tiawan

Bad Reason: Iraq, Vietnam

 

[Damien]

good: the nation being attacked committed an act of terrorism.
bad: "HE STARTED IT!"

 

[Eric]

Bad: Faulty intelligence!

 

[Delta]
