War is nonsense and manipulation and there is no reason to fight?

[bennyboy]

Of course there's a reason for war.  It's a struggle for valuable resources which will benefit a nation and its citizens.  Let's not pretend that WWII and the following economic boom wasn't one of the best boosts for the US that any country has seen in history.

But you can't say that's the reason we fought that war. It was a benefit, but not the reason.

We fought because we didn't want our shit damaged or taken. Ultimately, all conflict is about either taking other people's shit, or preventing them from taking yours. Keep your hands of my bitch, get the fuck out of my cave-- and hey, by the way, you can leave your sister behind.
