Neither war is there to regulate the number of mouth to feeds due to limitation in resources as such I consider war as natural as sex for the human species.

The idealistic view is "I have no enemies," however that really can't come to be in this world so "I have no choice" is my answer

I'm more like I don't consider any one as an enemy cuz that's will get you thinking about them 24/7, but when it's the time to respond like 50 Cent said: " I don't want no problem, but when there's a problem I say no problem"

Obviously, if you are sent to the front with a rifle in your hand, you have no choice, you have to fight to survive, but it doesn't mean that the people on the other side are your enemies, not having enemies doesn't mean passively turning the cheek, imo it's simply about not feeling hatred towards another person, you don't fight because someone is your enemy, you don't seek to fight, you do everything to avoid it, but in the end you have to defend yourself. idk

I mean to me there is only one option here and that is "I have no choice". Surprised by the responses, unless it's just hopeful wishing.

Like Thor's belief system wouldn't work at all. He wouldn't be disarming people like a Viking ninja, he would just get martyred if we are talking IRL. VS is interesting in trying to address pacifism, and I don't think it sugarcoats it however, IRL the world is even more cutthroat. I enjoy VS, however, I probably would disagree with Yukimura's world view a lot.

I am going to be frank, my identity, political views, and even where I live, ensures I have enemies, whether I want them or not. And yeah, I don't, despite my interests in military history, I actually hate conflict, even just simple interpersonal stuff. Doesn't mean you have a luxury of avoiding it.

Just saying you don't have enemies is really overly idealistic, and frankly nonsense. Even if we had a post scarcity world, there will still be ideological conflicts, which frankly are important to fight, if you don't want to live in an earthly hell.
