Yes you want to show all angles to the subject. make sure you cite where you get your info from. You could tell the disadvantages such as complications during and after surgery and maybe some disadvantages in life after surgery such as recovery times eating habits. Hoped it helped.

The answer is obvious.\n\nGood soldiers fight in many wars because they are 'good' soldiers, ie. good at their job.\n\nBad soldiers fight in only one.

no war is good for anyone.  I really think that if one coutry has a problem with another....the two leaders should duke it out and who ever is still standing wins!!  It would only cost for the flight there and back.

Two commonly overlooked disadvantages could be a thinning out of the gene pool (as fads come into play, people start choosing very similar genetic structures for their children to have, resulting in loss of individualism as well as sexual reproduction of similar beings leading to abnormalities in the same way incest sometimes does), and overpopulation, as common genetic defects cause some people to be less likely to survive in our environment, it keeps population growth lower than it would if we averaged at a 150+ year life span.\n\nAlso, in the event of a change in environment, the concurrent views on how genes should be altered would be counterproductive to an adaptation by the human body in order to cope with that environmental change.

War and conflict drove people away.

all the world doesnt want peace and that is why there is war....besides....war is good for the U.S. economy. So when the economy drops the chances of war breaking out for reasons like....Weapons Of Mass Destruction  aka a blatant LIE become ever more real.

War starts because of power. Someone has it and someone else wants it. Also religion is a major cause of war. I think that if there was no religion we would all be much better off.

The big advantage is that you get to avoid a trial.  Trials are costly and stressful.\n\nThe disadvantage is that you agree to go with whatever the arbitrator decides.  If you don't like the result, that's tough...a bitter pill to swallow in a divorce.

The problem is that battles are no longer restricted to battlefields.\nIt gets problematic when the enemy hides amongst the population.

No.......wars dont make countries poor,  just the poor people poorer and poor living people dead....

Depends where the war is fought.  China would have a hard time feeding themselves if we went to war, and that advantage alone would crumble the longevity of a war.\n\nSecond disadvantage is that 90% of China lives in 10% of its landmass, so conventional bombing would devastate Chin, whereas our industry and population is spread out.\n\nThe Chinese economy would collapse worse than ours because their currency is tied to ours, so the currency market would be equally devastating, with slightly more to China due to its lack of an infrastructure and free market policies.\n\nChina has a problem moving their army, so first they would have to move against Alaska, occupy it, then use Alaska to launch a US invasion. \n\nThe only real advantage of China is numbers.  The have more soldiers than we have bullets, so they will win with swarm tactics just like they did in Korea.\n\nEventually, the economics of the war would give the USA its necessary linchpin for victory, much like the union in the Civil War.

I say the war on poverty, because this failure also leads to the failure on drugs (i.e. poverty increases the chance of getting involved with drugs). Poverty also leads to crime, and believe it or not terrorist activities. If the world had a level playing field (i.e. fewer inequities between nations), there would be much less terrorism, and much, much less support for it. Poverty leads to many of the other problems facing the world and until it is better addressed, we will be dealing with all it's side effects.

The purpose of war is not to win.\nThe state of war is an end in itself.\nWar gives unlimited powers to the executive and galvanises the poulation behind a common cause. It is desirable for governments to wage wars.\n\nRead 1984 by George Orwell for a more elegant explaination.
