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?
