War speeches help soldiers feel proud and honorable, they make them feel great and powerful. This strategy is used to get more people to join wars in times of the nations struggle. The feelings that are involved with going to war would be different for each person as they each have different backgrounds in life. I do not know anyone who has gone to war, but I don't believe that wars are good to the world. Wars are only used to protect property and wealth of those in power. I would not feel content about

  • Ethics in War Are Necessary

    815 Words  | 2 Pages

    War has always been, and will always be, a necessary action perpetrated by man. There are many reasons for war: rage, passion, greed, defense, and religion to name a few. When differences cannot be solved or compromised through mediation with an opposing party, war is the last remaining option. Muslim historian Ibn Khaldun wrote in fourteenth-century Spain, that “War is a universal and inevitable aspect of life, ordained by God to the same extent as the sky and the earth, the heat and the cold. The question of whether to fright is not a significant moral question because fighting is constant; the minor decision not to fight this war will be made only in the context of knowing that another war will present itself soon enough because it is simply always there.” (Peter S. Themes. The Just War)

War was not a fun game like what Jessie Pope described it as in her poem, ‘Who’s for the game’. What war did was it changed people and society.
