I’m a Retired Naval Officer and For Me, War Isn’t a Video Game

It is really convenient to speak of war and support it when you’re not the one in the front fighting.

War is not the answer. It has never been. All it tells you is that other machineries have failed to resolve an issue by other means. Warmongering days are here. Every person sitting in his/her living room is a defence expert and an analyst who has it all worked out. It is easy to do that. People are seeking so called ‘revenge’. Pause. It is really convenient to speak of war and support it when you’re not the one in the front fighting, and it is someone else who is going to do it for you. That’s limited thinking. What did we get out of previous wars? Nothing concrete.
