Yep, war is a necessary evil.
The conviction that war is never morally acceptable would eventually lead to a weak and relatively defenseless country.

"You are both confusing having and maintaining a strong military with going out and actively making war against someone else.

True good guys don't make war against other people for vanity or profit. The true good guys only go to war to defend their people or their property."
What wars did the U.S. start (in modern times) over vanity or profit? I personally believe we had a valid reason for going to Afghanistan and Iraq.
