I suspect that all those millions of people who died in WWII might disagree with you. I can't imagine thinking war is anything other than a complete tragedy, even if it's a necessary war. WWII was before my time, and I'm still waiting for an example of a genuinely necessary war in my lifetime -- not anticipating, but it's likely to happen sooner or later.

FWIW, I was born after Korea, but "in my lifetime" comprises everything since the last years of the Vietnam war, give or take.

I expect that some of those who died in WWII (probably a majority of the Allied soldiers) thought it was worth it. It's hard to win a war, but impossible to win a genocide.
