War is a racket. The book by that title is a great read, written by a Medal of Honor recipient. People all over the world are just like you and me- trying to carve out their own slice of happiness and support their families. It's the "leaders" who are fucked in the head.
I don't think we've fought a just war since WW2, and even that gets a bit murky the deeper you delve. There was more to it than Hitler's genocidal ways. He needed to be killed, absolutely. But try digging into why Germany developed their mindset, and it becomes a bit clearer. Before I'm crucified, I am NOT advocating for Nazi Germany. But look into what Germany was attempting to do pre-WW1, and read War is a Racket by Smedley, and it becomes clearer.
