... What? That's called rebellion. How many rebellions have there been that you can think of? NOw think of the amount of WARS there have been. Get your facts straight. Wars happen because one greedy bastard doesn't like another greedy bastard, and he wants his land/resources. So he conscripts his population, and sends them to fight the others guys conscripted people, until one side is so battered and bruised that they have to surrender. Yes, I'm aware that that is one huge stereotype, and not always true, but it's been the cause of almost any modern war, not to mention those in centuries before: The Hundred Years War, The Vikings invading Europe, etc.

Same difference only in a war more people die.

That's not war. That's a reaction to war. If there is no war, there is nothing to react to. Being pro-war means being Pro-invading-someone's-house-and-trying-to-kill-them, not being pro-able-to-defend-yourself. The two are entirely different.
