A quick definition of just war:

Just War: A term used to describe a war that is fought for a good reason, such as defending oneself or others from harm, and is conducted in a fair and ethical manner. It is also known as "Bellum Justum" in Latin.

A more thorough explanation:

Just war, also known as bellum justum, is a concept in international law and ethics that outlines the conditions under which a war can be considered just or morally acceptable. A just war is one that is fought for a just cause, with the right intention, as a last resort, with proportionality, and with a reasonable chance of success.

  • The Allied Powers' fight against Nazi Germany in World War II is often considered a just war. The Allies were fighting to stop the genocide of millions of Jews and other minorities, and to prevent the spread of fascism and totalitarianism.
  • The United States' invasion of Iraq in 2003 is a controversial example of a war that many argue was not just. The reasons for the invasion were based on faulty intelligence, and the war resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

These examples illustrate the importance of considering the justness of a war before engaging in it. A war fought for a just cause, with the right intention, and as a last resort can be morally acceptable. However, a war fought for unjust reasons or without proper consideration of the consequences can have devastating effects on innocent people.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
