[Closed] When was the last time the world was free of war?

It all looks like murder to me, regardless of whether it's state sanctioned and/or a necessity of self defense and ethically acceptable.

Arrse says 1968 is the year for no British combat deaths and they should know .

Yup, they SHOULD. However ARRSE, or to be more precise a serving NCO, also says that NATO .5.56 ball doesn't fragment (in fact NEVER fragments) under certain ranges/above certain velocites, and they should know that too!

5th indeed

There were wars nearly every year I between those dates. But significant numbers of people in the world were not affected by war, an unusual state at that time.

But that's an absurdity - the whole point of the word murder is that it contains an element of opprobrium or moral condemnation. If it were a legally or philosophically neutral word, it would just mean the same as "homicide".

Its all absurd.

I'll post later when not at work. But just to clarify, it's my perception of the matter rather than a statement of fact.
