War is a good thing. It is a very modern idea that war is bad. On the contrary, for a variety of reasons, I think that war makes society a better place.

And on that other issue, I continue to believe that Libertarianism is about legalized drugs, with all other issues trailing far, far behind.

I would not call war GOOD - I’d say necessary at times but never good. Until you’ve actually had to fight one it is easy to say that war is good. Take it from someone who was at one time eyebrow deep in war and killing and take it from me war should never be seen as good.

No.
But being that some humans have a propensity to take away other people's lives and liberty and freedom, and will always do that, there are always going to be times when war is unavoidable, in order to stop people like Hitler and Saddam, and bring liberty and freedom.
But war in itself, is not a good thing. Maybe, you should visit some of the veterans in hospitals some time. Nobody likes war for war's sake.

War is only good in a hierarchy of goods and evils, since war is preferable to slavery. If policy objectives can be achieved by a use of force short of war, so much the better. If those objectives can be achieved by diplomacy (with an implied threat of force), so much the better still.
