War is complicated. The reason people go to war is never black and white. To me, there is no way to have a complete yes or no opinion as to if the United States should ever go to war. When I think of all the reasons that we as a nation have gone to war, some make more sense than others, but you have to wonder if every time we have initiated a war the cost was really worth what we were fighting for. Was the loss of numerous American lives worth it? It’s hard to say. People willingly join the military knowing the dangers, but they do it anyway because they love this country. I believe that it's best for the United States to avoid going to war as much as they can. The only time I would see it fit is if we or one of our allies were being attacked
