My Thoughts Regarding Guadalcanal
In response to number five about The Pacific, no I do not think that either side can claim moral superiority. War is war. Killing is killing. No matter how it's done, it is still immoral and wrong. Yes, sometimes the tactics used for it or the context in which it is done can make it more inhumane or disgusting, but in that case as well, I don't think either side can claim moral superiority. Japan attacked us first, so we responded by going to war with them. However, according to the video, some of the ways we killed were awful. Like the Japanese guy who the Americans were playing with. That was so immoral and horrible. They do something sneaky or tricky, we play with and torture their men. No one wins here. I think both sides are equally immoral.

I agree. The tactics used on both sides are so disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree with your stance, I don't necessairly think that war is pointless. killing is definetly immoral and wrong, but in most cases, war has helped countries gain more power and become more successful. Let's be real here; no one is going to discuss what needs to be done and actaully agree. While I believe war is horrible and fighting is savage, the outcome (except for the deaths and injuries) is beneficial.
