Question: If war is hell, why do we send so many good people there!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Hell is not just in war but can be found in a fatal accident on the road or finding out one has incurable cancer with not long to live!.

In your question then there is always going to be some bully around the school yard that doesn't want to stop being the bully!. As the author of Ecclesiastes wrote thousands of years ago!. There is a time for war and a time for peace!.

Sometimes war follows us wherever we go even hell!. So we just fight it no matter what mask hell wears!. We train people there so they can help people fight the bully that wants to take their rights for a just a fair government!. We went to war with Japan and Germany and kicked out the bullies there and now they are our friends!. That was over some 50 years ago now!.

We fight war and send our sons and wives and mothers and fathers to war so that the children can learn to live in peace!.

Oh sure we could stay out of it and there would be peace!. But the peace would only be what the bully tells them it is!.

I bet you did not know that there are children in Iraq and Afghanistan that are named George Bush!. A nation strong and powerful helping the defenseless sends a strong message to the bullies of the world!.

But I suppose you already know this!. So we send trained men to hell so that they can make their place a heaven!. Just as God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, into the war and even to hell if necessary so that we could go to heaven!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

we don't draft any more!. people choose to go to war!.
which makes me question:
why do good people choose to go to the equivalent of hell!?

i think they choose to go there to prevent hell from breaking loose in the world, when there is so much hell to be seen in the future!.

I believe that everything happens for a reason!. good people die so that many more great people will live!.

to answer your question, good people cancel out hell!. war isn't won by loss and gain or knowledge and stupidity, it's won through compromise!. and good people are great at compromise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

war is hell but we do not send any one to war, it is the world's powers that send innocent people to ware to reach more and more power economically and politically, they are hungry strongly, their mission is to destroy goodness and God's government!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not everyone realizes we can live without it!. Even Obama, who ran on a platform of peace, and most all of his supporters believe we still need it!.

If you don't support it, let Obama know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
