Opening
War of being superior has given people shattered lives, yet the ethics of war
Throughout history war has given people pain & suffering, yet the arguments of war being morally permissible float around.
WHEN WAR IS UNETHICAL :
Body · points
- Almost always. No human logic which believes in humanity can justify war.
Close · a summary
It brings mass destruction & promotes inequality & a race to be at the top as seen in the age of imperialism.
HOWEVER :
As seen in Mahabharata, sometimes for Truth to prevail over lie, war becomes a necessity. For protection of self-interest against unwarranted aggression from the other side, war becomes obligatory.
Example - When Pakistani soldiers tried to capture Kargil, India had to retaliate with military action.
Hence in situations where the national integrity & sovereignty is at stake & the action is taken in self-defence instead of self-aggression, war can be treated as morally permissible.
