h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi,
just penned a quick note on War, glad to hear any suggestions or alterations. Im not too happy with the
last paragraph, but then again you could write a couple of books on motivating people to go to war, not
to mind to say how large this entry could grow if you wanted

I think this is definitely a good start to an entry, although it could maybe use with some more focus. Obviously, "war" in of itself may be a bit too broad. Maybe focus in on Clausewitz's Metaphor. Maybe turn it into an entry on the successful strategies of Genghis Kahn and family. Maybe take a historical perspective on recruiting soldiers.

For a subject so broad in scope, this article does leave one wanting. There is also a very heavy use of language that leans in the direction of propaganda. I definitely think this article needs to take a bit of a different direction.

Editorial Note: This Conversation has been moved to the new 'Flea Market' Forum.

This is where we move any Peer Review, Writing Workshop or Alternative Writing Workshop Conversations where the original author has *not* posted to h2g2 for three months. This prevents the active Review Forums from clogging up with dormant entries, but in the Flea Market they can be picked up by others and polished off.

Added to Spaced Out Guide at A994223.

I’d like to propose Back to Entry
A good topic for an entry, but this seems rather short and simplistic. War can indeed be about theft, but surely wars for freedom are about the complete opposite? Wars can also be motivated by revenge, genocide etc. This also doesn’t really address Civil Wars, where families can be on different sides of key issues.
