1. War will destroy splendid civilization. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a fire of the British and French allied forces destroyed Yuanmingyuan, and countless treasures were looted.

More than 90 million soldiers and civilians were killed or injured in World War II, and more than 30 million people were displaced. A large number of innocent civilians were killed in every war.

"Zero casualties" is not zero.
"Zero casualties" is the goal pursued by the initiators of recent local wars. They tried to achieve their "zero casualties". However, despite their advantages in high-tech weapons and equipment, "zero casualties" has not become a reality. It has caused great and painful casualties to civilians in combat areas.

For example, at a highway checkpoint near Karbala, US troops opened fire on an escaping truck, killing two women and five children. When the soldiers went to check it out, a surviving woman still clung to her two murdered children.
"Precision strike" is not accurate.
The initiators of the war have repeatedly boasted that their weapons can carry out "precise strikes." However, a large number of civilian casualties strongly countered this lie. Since the appearance of mankind, the war has never stopped. War and civilization are always intertwined, which not only plays an indispensable role in catalyzing and promoting the development and progress of human civilization, but also threatens the survival of mankind at all times. With the social revolution, war has brought a new model. The war between ancient tribes promoted the integration of nationalities and the formation of a country, which was also the direct cause of the great migration of nationalities. The war between different ethnic groups within the country has contributed to the independence of the nation and the birth of a new country; The war between political groups within a country leads to regime change, such as civil war. Besides, in the west, religious wars, such as Crusades and Jihad, are also common historical phenomena.
Compared with armed conflict, the forms of confrontation in war are: first, cruelty, and both sides attack each other by all available violent means; The second is devastating. In confrontation, one side will destroy the other at any cost. The third is purpose, until the other party gives in and achieves the goal; The fourth is persistence. Conventional wars last for years or decades, while modern high-tech wars last for months to years. Any war is planned and prepared.
The definition of war is that there is more than one group or organization, and when normal non-violent means can't achieve reconciliation or balance, it starts with initial violence and ends with one or more parties losing violence actively or passively. In this kind of activity, spiritual activities and material consumption or production coexist.
