[It's been a while since Four's done some information gathering! And this is a topic he knows most here are well aware of. He doesn't write it out right away however, he takes the time to think about it, since he's personally aware that it's a sensitive topic.]

War is an unavoidable part of humanity, in the sense that it seems that those who are sentient have trouble avoiding it. Conflicting ideals come together and creates something that harms everyone, it is how most civilizations are built. When I first saw war with my own eyes, I thought it was the most terrible monster I've ever seen. This much hasn't changed for me. I have mentioned before that it's the purpose of me and my twin to gather information related to humanity, and to one day understand it.

Knowing why and when a war starts and finishes is one thing. Understanding is another, and I believe I'm starting to understand. There's still a lot I don't know however.

Can anyone explain war to me?

What is it like from your point of view?

If someone values life, how can they fight in a war?

You have to stand up for what you believe in. If you value life, then you don't fight to kill--you fight to stop your opponents, the ones oppressing. You fight to uphold your values and morals and you do what you have to in order to uphold them.

[He shifts a bit, fully believing what he's saying but, well...war still sucks.]

It's not fun, it's never fun...but sometimes it's all you have left.

"Fight to stop your opponents."

That sounds almost noble.
