What about a war to not let communists come into power in a country across the ocean? Is it worth dying for?

- RandomLensman 3y agoDepends, certainly how South Korea looks like today, you could say that was a success by some measures. I don't think you can really get utilitarian here, but rather societies form views around their wars.
- codedokode 3y agoThe point of war usually is not to make a country successful; the point of imperialistic wars is not to let the enemy have the country.
- RandomLensman 3y agoThe UN approved military action in Korea was an imperialistic war? Your view is also very short-term, not sure everyone subscribes to that.
