War is part of our evolution, we don't want it but it might be what human needs. Look and Japan their cities rebuilt and more powerful ever, sacrifices are needed for us to move forward in our civilizations.

@robotpanda77 But we aren't ALL that way. We don't ALL want conflict - so no, I wasn't confusing anything. I stand by what I said.

@FaerieCrone You are confusing bragging about war with bragging about losing. Of course the losing side doesn't brag. Dead men tell no tales. But the living sure as hell do. Football is a violent war fought on the field where men still sometimes die from brain injuries and it hold the last five consecutive records for most watched television events. Larger wars raise the rewards and the cost. Conflict is a part of life. Why fight against what you are?

@robotpanda77 War isn't something to brag about. If you lose your friends and family in the process would you brag about it? And if you lost your own life you wouldn't be around to brag about it. Nobody wins in war. Everyone loses something. If you were conscripted tomorrow you would shit yourself.

@Komnenit Nonsense, war is in our blood. Pain is the defining truth of life, would you deny a newborn life to spare the mother pain? No one pays to see the movie "peaceful days" at the movies. They go to see conflict, war and struggle. The movie resolves itself with "happily ever after" and then it ends.

Our generation needs a war. What our we going to brag to our grandchildren about? We need an alien invasion.
