Would you have called for stopping the war after the war was over? Maybe wait until the last MIA was found before condeming the war? If you were a true patriot in Nazi Germany and wanted to get rid of Hitler, would you have waited until after the war is over to do something about it? (no analogy intended).
Military leaders would say sacrificing a few lives to save many is good strategy. If we had ended the war earlier, despite having POWs, maybe those 12,000 boys would be alive today. If we hadn't gone to war, 50,000 would have contributed to our society in inumerable ways we'll never know. Thousands of kids and women would have fathers and husbands. And that's only on our side.
Is war nature's way to curb world population or man's penchant for domination?
