For me there is no question. It's my country and you can't have it. DUH!
And if I gotta invade your country to make you stop invading my country, then I'll do that too. You can bet your Scipio Africanus on that!

War is never justifiable. It should be evident by now that war only leads to more war.

Peace

If all men simply refused to go to war, government would not be able to use us for thier silly games. Soldiers are expendable pawns and don't usually even know the full reasons why they're fighting.

We fight because it's fun. Not because our government tells us to.

Nationalism is a form of social conditioning used to make it easier for the rich and powerful to throw away lives to reach their goals. It's the pack mentality humans have gone bad.

Since most people are sheep, they will continue to buy into the idea of the nobility of throwing their life away for queen and country.

I figure eventually we'll evolve out of it, or perhaps it'll destroy us. But it currently remains the tool of evil people and the death of fools.

In WW2,the Japanese plan was to go through Aussie then take the main port of New Zealand(perhaps just Auckland)and bicycle their way down the country.

Perhaps they would have met with this resistance?

Victory belongs to those who believe in it the most, and believe in it the longest.

I don't know, brother SuperFly.
I think victory belongs to the most vicious.

oops. I shouldn't use words I'm not familiar with.
I meant vicious as aggressive, tough, and ability to come together and fight for a common cause.
But I see on dictionary.com the word has other connotations.

And don't even think of making fun of my English.
I'm pure white bread Texan. I just spent 25% of my life in Korea.
