War is not justified

Doriss

Some individuals or groups may argue that the benefits of warfare make it justified to engage in war, but I strongly disagree. In my point of view, a war is never ever morally justifiable, regardless of the potential advantages.
    In war, many innocent children and adults lose their lives. The shootings, terror bombings, and as well as severe malnutrition, are the main causes of war-related deaths. When a war starts, many young individuals must engage in military service without knowing whether or not they'll return back to their homes safely. World War II is a prime representation of how brutal and devastating war can be. According to sources, it is estimated that 35 million to 60 million people died in WWII. (How Many People Died During World War II?, 2022)
    We simply do not actually gain anything at all from war. It causes havoc and mayhem. According to new research, the social and economic fabric of nations is very often damaged by war. (NCBI - WWW Error Blocked Diagnostic, n.d.-b) War also causes reduction in material and human capital. Additionally , many of those who return after fighting in war suffer from PTSD. According to research , the symptoms of PTSD include intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, and changes in physical and emotional reactions. (Symptoms and Causes - Mayo Clinic, n.d.)
    There are many consequences of war that can change someone’s life forever. In research of Force , the effects of war are long term physical and psychological harm to children and also adults. (2020)  According to new research , some of the most threatening physical consequences of war are injury, sexual violence, malnutrition, illness and disability. (environment@fawco.org, 2022) These bad outcomes may fundamentally alter a person's way of life. And because of the trauma and depression , people may go so far as to commit suicide. Survivors of war also have to deal with the grief of losing some family members.
    Some individuals believe that because war has some advantages, it ought to be morally justified. Despite the fact that it is true that some benefits of war may exist, this does not necessarily imply that war is acceptable. War may benefit technology advances and military advances but it is because of war that people have to leave their homes in fear of losing their lives, go through trauma and also separation from their families.
    War can never be justified, war is devastating and destructive. Wars are fought because of the power thirsty governments and dictators, it is fought for misguided ideas of power and of righteousness. Many people die from war or lose their family members, they also have to bear the many consequences of war. People face death, injury and even sexual violence because of war. There is far too much damage and destruction caused by war that it cannot be justified. We should choose peace over war and violence. War causes too much damage to humans , animals and the environment.
