Response to Why We Fight

I agree with Bennett's position that people should find things worth fighting for. While it is true that violence should not be the choice for every situation, it can be required. A great example is world war two. If the United States had never become involved, what would have become of Europe? That does not however, mean that everything the United States did in that war can be seen as just. I do not agree with bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and feel that when war is needed, we can not let ourselves commit acts that are wrong.

I also agree that teaching kids to never fight or do anything is wrong. I believe that this can cause children to not protect themselves from bullying or similar "attacks". In my lifetime, I've needed to fight for what I thought was right. While I may not have enjoyed doing this, looking back, I'm glad I did. If I had done, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
