Our moral tradition includes:

Do not kill

Treat others the way you would like to be treated

Play nice

Share

Love your enemies

Many consider war a necessary evil

I could agree if we remove "a necessary"

I understand the need to defend and therefore have the means to do that

However, most wars are about greed and power

They are evil

The instigators are engaged in evil behavior

The foundation of empires is built on evil invading

and killing and stealing

Colonialism is evil

History glorifying war and conquest as written by western (or any) civilization is all about justifying evil
