Do you believe wars are always based on lies?

Question

I do. The masses are lied to and they are naive, gullible and pay and die for war.

Answer 1

Yes, all war is based on lies. You see, the common man does not want to go to war. They only go to war because the elite who travel abroad stir up crap and then expect OUR SONS to be their muscle.

NO MORE as far as I'm concerned. If you start the crap, you better be able to back it up with the resources at hand, at the time. No more of this ongoing, long effort wartime garbage.

Answer 2

Sure... Pearl Harbor was really bombed by Jews directed by Roosevelt, trying to get a war started between the Japs and the rest of the "free" world so they could quietly establish a foothold in the middle east and nobody would notice. The Third Reich really consisted of Jews trying to take over the world so they could sell jewelry and chicken soup on all European, Scandinavian, and Commonwealth city street corners...

Answer 3

You, know this is really a good question, but its answer is so clear in the world now a days. There is always another goal, for any war which is being held. It is in that way because the developed countries are always in need for another source of benefit, their interest is not always freedom as an example: The War in Iraq, do you think it serves what is needed from it?
USA and Britain entered the War to overthrew Sadam's rule and to remove nuclear bombs that they claimed strongly that he had.
And Now Sadam's rule is over, what are they doing in Iraq now, what is the use of killing our Soliders for a false goal, what is the use of killing our soliders for "OIL", that really makes you think, should I be proud about what my country is doing?
I will never say that our soliders are not brave or anything else, but they were directed by a wrong person or system.

Answer 4

Yes most are, but not all. I think that if you look at all the wars that have been fought I'd say about 90% have been based on lies. For example the Romans, Nazis, etc. All their wars and conquests were based on lies. Empires often make up excuses to expand their power and influence.

Answer 5

somewhat well if you look at war its an act of aggression.now truth is not always obvious it depends on the side of the fence you are on and what you define truth as.here is an example i can be truthful and still tell a lie without you or myself knowing its a lie until after the fact.as far as the second world war there was no lie from the allied side.fact pearl harbour was bomb fact Hitler was after world domination fact Holocaust was happening.so was this war just depends on whose side your on I'm sure Germany felt it was unjust at the end same with japan so is this the truth who knows.truth can be fleeting in any war so what do you do to tell if a war is just?now that's the question.

Answer 6

Not exactly. Helen of Troy. Not a lie. SPQR. Again, not a lie. WWI and WWII? No lies there. We were attacked, and we fought back. Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm? Iraq invaded Kuwait, and annexed it as the 19th region. Kuwait were our allies. No lie there... This is getting old.

Iraq, part 2? I've heard people say that WMD's were not in Iraq. In August of this very year, we found them. (Given, they were old, but, they were still lethal.) They earned two days of coverage in the news. We also went because we wanted Hussein out of office, due to his being a thug, and because it was suspected (operative word, there) that he might have had ties to terrorists. So he didn't have ties to terrorists. A suspicion isn't always based in fact, hence why we call it a suspicion. He (Saddam Hussein) deserved what he got.

Answer 7

The people who want the wars rarely fight them themselves so they must fool others into doing it, at least that's the way it is now. In the old days they'd just say go and fight or we'll kick you and your family off your land and watch you starve.

These days big business is in control a load of rich b*stards who are loyal to no country and no ideology other than capitalism. And lets face it it's very easy to manipulate the masses with modern media, just look at all the fools on here.

Answer 8

No not always. There are legitimate reasons to go war. It depends on the circumstances. For instance,American war of indepence, World War 1 and 2.

Answer 9

If you think you know the answer, why ask the question? No, wars are not always based on lies. Some are necessary. "There's a time for war & a time for peace" Ecclesiastes

Answer 10

That question is indicitive of the mindless masses that allow themselves to be taken over rather than fight for freedom.

I strongly suggest that you take a trip to Iraq and find out first hand why wars are fought. It would be usless for you to watch the news to find the answer, not that you even watch the news.
