Nobody is suggesting “don’t do war,” so that’s a pretty nonsensical straw man. Not every war is equal and the existence of war doesn’t negate the validity of criticism of tactics and costs of the war in question. You’ve made extremely clear you wish to be seen as smarter than this lazy false equivalency suggests.
