Or even the reformation? Does this mean that those that participate in unjust wars, are guilty of murder?

“Does this mean that those that participate in unjust wars, are guilty of murder?”

How did that particular thought enter the conversation, and what does it have to do with the price of peas in Patagonia? The question at hand was if there is always a right side and a wrong side in a war, and I mentioned examples of wars in which both sides could be judged to be wrong. I’m not sure if one can find a war in which both sides are totally right, but I’m sure that in most wars, both sides may believe that.

To the extent that someone participates in an unjust war, how guilty of murder he is, the Nuremburg trial records might yield some answers, but I haven’t the time to research them. Perhaps, since you asked the question, you could do the research.
