necessary, it may be justified (as in the interest of self-defense). But it is not noble. Individual military personal may act with honor and such. They may lay their life down to protect another and often do. But the act of war itself destroys, it kills, it brings harm to innocents. War is ugly. It is not noble. Governments often wage war for reasons other than what is justified. Power, money, control of resources are reasons governments wage war. But they try to sell it to the populations as being a noble cause. How many wars that have been waged through the ages are morally justified? My guess is very little.
