I wish there was a righteous war. I don't necessarily mean black versus white, as it is arguable that such a one has ever existed (yes, even the Second World War as we're not taking into account what was found out after the end). I mean something so simple as my king or country versus that king or country, on purely honorary or territorial grounds, ignoring whether or not my king or country was the offender or aggressor. I'd gladly serve in such a war.
The type in my mind are the ones that were often fought during the Middle Ages between Christian kings (but in modern warfare), up to about the Reformation, after which certain values were imbued and warring were more over such things. They were... clean, in a way. I guess today people would see them as extremely pointless. But they weren't full of hate, all-encompassing, or over abstractions. What have we got today? Getting sent half-way across the world of international geopolitical goals, fighting for pop-culture epicenter America's Freedom by killing Afghani farmers... Eh... What do you think?
