    The wars of which we had no knowledge of turned out to be bloodiest. WWII for example, if we had prepared for war, when we knew hitler was gaining power, it would have ended faster, with less causalities/genocide.

    wars are going to happen it is best to be prepared and understand war if you are ever forced or called to be a part of one.

    sadly innocent citizens get drug into wars of their governments and since they are who will bear the brunt of the war they should know more about than what they hear in movies or watch on tv.

    also if you have knowledge of war you will also have the knowledge of how to prevent or at least shorten the length of a war.

    knowledge is power.

    I think it's better to know about war and even to use it.

    This way, you as a person, would understand what it is to win or lose in war. You will understand the meanings of hate, and disappointment and all the negativity it has to offer. And to make choices to change it.

    Then there's another thing: to know about it so you can understand the meaning of love and salvation...what's it like to save someone, to hold someone in your arms that is almost dead and to help bring them back. To understand those whom you thought at one time to be savages and to learn about another way of life.

    War can bring people together...to understand the good and evil of life.

    War is another way of God showing people geography.

    That is what I believe...My brother is in the middle east and he has helped all those who weren't able to go to school attend for the first time in their lives.

    The knowledge of in itself is not wrong or evil, but it the way it have been used is evil.

    yes it is better to always have knowledge and to use than to never have knowledge at all....
