Violence is also justified in war. Obviously, war tends to be very violent but sometimes people would say that violence in war has to have a limit. In actuality, there is no limit of violence in war. In the article “Hiroshima: Was It Necessary”, Doug Long (n.d.) writes about how there is no limit in war by using the bombing of Hiroshima as an example. Japan was fighting against the United States and had four years bombed Pearl Harbor. The United States fought back but Japan did not surrender.…

War is beautiful. War is necessary. We must fight because we are right, and the enemy is wrong. When raised in a nation that is free, these three statements will be echoed until it is time to be shipped off to battle. There is no argument or resistance, only a generation of young men that believe their right is not to be free, but to die in hopes that their sacrifice will bring freedom to those they love. “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen is a bitter contradiction about the common belief…
