War seems to have been a part of american society since its creation. do you believe america is reliant on war or could war be avoided? do you think it would have been possible for the us to refrain from war in cases such as wwii, korea, and vietnam? how have these events shaped the way americans view war in regards to our national identity?

America is a resilient country. We came from nothing and shaped our society on how we thought God would want it. With that being said, I also think that it would have been impossible to create America without war. War shaped our boundaries and sharpened our resolve. It gave us a position of power among the other nations and also set our moral lines. America was the deciding factor in WWII. In our current global society I am sure that war could be avoided in our dealings with the world, but it was essential for us to learn to respect one another. I believe this is a testament to our resilience.

American isolationism is no longer possible. We have set ourselves up to be reliant on other countries. This comes with risks, and one of them is war. The citizens of america have long protested war in foreign countries because it was taxing and unbeneficial. I think that all the wars we have partaken in are necessary to our identity today. They have helped us form equal rights so all citizens are equal, and they have helped us create nationalism to fuel our front. The korean war was essential for us because it stopped communism from spreading to the western hemisphere. The WWII brought employment back to the U.S. so the economy could rise. Even the Vietnam war brought unity to the United States. Our citizens for unions to protest for equal rights, creating the utopia we have today.

My point in this is to say that war shaped our identity but it isn't who we are. The american dream is founded on freedom and that is what we have fought for since day one. Whether its our freedom or someone else's freedom we have always fought to protect freedom. These three wars all had lasting effects on the american culture that were astounding in retrospect. War is a tool I believe that is used by God to show men their similarities. We never listen, but while we're all fighting hes whispering to each soldier, "that could be you". I also believe that war is a tool used by Satan to try to create differences between man, and these differences seperate us from God. All this is to say that I believe war is a resource to build, but that it isn't needed when you use unity.
