Has war outlived its usefulness? It is time to outlaw and abolish it like many countries and states have with capital punishment?

I used to be a supporter of war when it was a way for men to prove their masculinity as well as to thin out excess males from the population. What exactly is the point or reason for it now if we are going to have women and homosexuals doing it? Its just a destructive, harmful, waste of live and cause of death, despair and destruction with no redeeming social purpose anymore other than to fuel the military-industrial complex and give politicians a way to manipulate the public and work them up into supporting the government.

War is dead. Its time to abolish once and for all. Lets save the tax money, balance the budget, and stop death, destruction, and injustice overseas. It may seem far fetched, but rewind fifteen years when support for capital punishment was at 70% or more, both parties were in favor of it and few politicians dared to express any opposition. Now, gradually, it is being phased out state by state, country by country. Personally, I am a staunch proponent of capital punishment for nearly all convicted murderers but you see how something that seemed like it would be forever can be done away with.

War is far more deadly and unjust than capital punishment, so where are the cries to abolish it?
 
What's your enforcement plan if a country tells you to go fuck yourself and then blows up your main railway station?

We would still have a military force, with fast strike capabilities backed by air and missle support. Also, we would maintain an arsenal of WMDs (nuclear, biological, chemical). We would still have a deterent. We would just shun ground combat like we did for more or less in the period after Vietnam ended. No more of these unending occupations. Also, cut defense spending to levels we can afford.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: This response needs to start with eyerolls.

"Shunning ground combat" in favor of WMDs and missile strikes hardly equates to the abolition of war. The fact that you understand the reality of having to have any military force along with understanding the reality that you might actually have to use it, destroys your original premise.

Abolishing war is meaningless if the only way to enforce the prohibition is to subject the violating country to superior force, i.e. "war."

Meanwhile, what makes you think you would have the option of not using ground troops? While it is a truism of war to never let the enemy choose the battlefield, sometimes it cannot be avoided. When such is the case, military strategists will use the best weapons and personnel that affords the best chance of victory.

Isn't that the tactic of the iSlammers?

We must end war before war ends us.

He plans to blame the women and send manly men to save the day!

No wait... He laments the addition of women and homosexuals to the fighting force, because it takes the manly darwinisms out of combat, but rejoices in using missles, drones and mass killing machines.
