Google: "war"; a collage of words

Vengence is the ultimate weapon,

any large scale, violent conflict
extension, the word is now used for any struggle
"war on drugs, war on terror"
90-95% of known societies engaged in at least occasional warfare
human beings are inherently violent
peace does not really exist.
war as an extension of animal behaviour, such as territoriality and competition
Psychological warfare, Guerilla warfare, Cyber warfare, Energy warfare, Biological warfare
60,000,000–72,000,000 - World War II (1939–1945)
907 - Falklands War (1982)

War was a multicultural American funk band of the 1970s from California
The year was 1969, and the band had the nerve to carry the name War at a time when peace was the slogan in an anti-Vietnam America. "Our mission was to spread a message of brotherhood and harmony," -Lonnie Jordan.
"Our instruments and voices became our weapons of choice and the songs our ammunition. We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It's just as apropos today."

War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities. Thus, fisticuffs between individual persons do not count as a war, nor does a gang fight
War is a brutal and ugly enterprise. Yet it remains central to human history and social change.
Is war always wrong?

WAR was the first and most successful musical crossover phenomenon that forever fused rock, jazz, Latin, and R&B, while transcending racial and cultural barriers with a multi- ethnic line-up; a musical melting pot
