Morality Of War

War means killing each other. There must be no morality in it. But in fact there is a morality of war. First thing. War has to be a last resort. War has to be started after all possible peaceful means turned to be useless. So first, diplomacy, then eventually after ultimatum was not accepted, only war starts.

War has to be held between militaries. No civilians ought to be hurt from the battle, however, it is just an ideal of war act. How about using unmanned battle vehicles like this or using a radicon helicopter like this. Yesterday motor and piano company Yamaha was raided from police whether their shipment of this product to China is violating a law to prohibit exporting weaponry.

If the aim of war is to minimise the damage of our side and maximise the damage of their side, unmanned weaponry meets these demands, but they are against the morality of war. Here's the related article from BBC.
