Where hundreds of thousands of people, both military and nonmilitary get needlessly killed or maimed, and that is to say nothing of the destruction to the environment and killing/maiming of other life forms.
Yes - that's the normal definition of war we learn at school.
But in the last 100 years there have been established much more forms of war(fare), like the cold war of the 80's.
That was the reason for the second question, because only in a hot war you can identify direct the reason of death.
But people are dying in other forms of warefare too, it's just more complicated to identify the reason of death.
Besides - I have missed a question between this two questions: "What are the reasons for war?"
However this question leads to the question if people naturally are aggressive and want to kill other people?
The third question was a little bit deceitful, because it should catalyst for the warefare against the fulfilling of our lifeplan.
Let me link this article here too, because it directly shows what i mean.
The last two questions will continue to the result of the possibilities given by our "planned" daily live.
