The beauty in the art of war

What is there to be fond of in war, where gore and death is always kept at bay. Where death who rides a black stallion reaps the souls that had fallen, and hurl them into the fiery furnace of hell or in brighter sense, the soft tissue embodiment that make up our heavenly clouds. The world is not perfect, and so without an external force us humans make upon ourselves, we live a monstrosity without knowledge of what is good and bad. 
The beauty in the art of war, is that quarrels and disputes are inevitable, having different views and opinions just mean that we are human. In the Charles Darwin's survival to the fittest, disputes are resolved through the art of fighting, which means that whoever wins, is pronounced the strongest, and to simply put, the reigning champion has the final say in what decision is made towards the conflict. 
The population as another example shows that birthrates are increasingly higher than the death rates in the past decade. Without the handful of sacrifices be it our proud men and women putting their lives on the line to protect our forefront or simply those who "was there at the wrong time" as a result of an unpredictable calamity  it won't be long until mankind rapidly doubles and fills up the entire earth until nothing is left but the vast expanse of the sea. 
In another light, there are many references of war in the bible. The fact that these people were driven by the hand of god to fight for their views especially for good doesn't mean that goodness always triumph. In battles and wars, there would always be a 50 percent chance of success and failure, sometimes he proves to not be there at all, but that is because he works behind the scenes, testing his soldiers in their faith, and like what he did to his chosen people, Israel, especially in the old testament, he had let them fall in the hands of their enemies, simply because they were worshiping other gods or committing fornication.
The fact that war symbolizes the art of fighting for power and justifying our own opinions, proves that war although it's unthinkable and undesirable, it is constantly needed to resolve many of the various conflicting views existing amongst mankind, and sometimes exist to prove self worth, or simply ease the human ego.
