I'm honestly curious as to what people think about this. The title by the way doesn't state that I think it's pointless or not pointless, it's just that in another forum I go to, I recently commented on a writer who was writing a story about war and how I think he was trying to show how bloody pointless war is, through the story. Some other guy on this forum who said he was an Army vet went off on a rant saying how insulted he was by that, even though i tried to reassure him that wasn't what I'd personally said. It got me thinking, is a soldier who's had first hand experience, the best qualified person to say wether or not the War, or any war, is pointless?
