Well, to support their country/race/culture! Think about it. If all of your friends were on a team against a bunch of people you didn't like you would root for your friends, right? Same thing with people who support war. They want their culture or country to win their rights!
Also, some people support wars in certain specific casesas the only real alternative to a more horrible outcome. That is, such people consider the consequences of a war, then the consequences of not going to war, and conclude that, as bad a war is, not going to war is worse.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-John Stuart Mill (1806-73)
Of course, the trick is deciding when a war is truly necessary, and when all other reasonable avenues have been exhausted (or, when events have proved that waiting any longer will result in more Horror than waiting for a diplomatic solution).

ReneWinston Churchill said "There is no such thing as a good war, or a bad peace". True but after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941 or 9/11 airplane crashes sometimes war is forced on a country.
i think (and so does my class) that war can b good cuz good things come from them. like the Persian wars, where Athens was fighting Persia. Athens won, and therefore became rich and could rebuild, becoming the Golden Age of Athens. the golden age was a 30 year period of glory 4 Athens also called the cultural center of the world at the time. i believe war causes history.

A pacifist is a person who opposes war and violence. Some people are pacifist because they believe that people that live in the world should not kill or harm other people.
Was the Vietnam war necessary?
As necessary as the cold war was....so yes
What are some Immoral reasons about the Vietnam war?
During the "COLD WAR"; the Vietnam War was immoral to most people...who believed that war was "immoral" to begin with. Example: During WWII, which was a "clear case" of self defense (the Pearl Harbor Attack), people in the US still protested US involvement in that war. The "...reasons about the Vietnam War", would be the same; war is immoral, for those that choose to believe it. For many people there is NO JUSTIFICATION for war.
Why did some people argue that Prohibition was a necessary war measure?
It was thought that alcohol was destroying families and the fabric of American society. It was thought that denying people alcohol would stop them from craving it and lessen crime. Funny how that turned out.
Should people go to war?
Yes: To defend ones country, to defend ones empire. People should make their voices heard, and people don't listen unless there's a gun pointed at their heads. No: To go to war only ignites a new problem. People going to war shouldn't BE necessary, because people often go to war because they will not give up some things for peace. World leaders often care more about their opinions then the men and women they send out to battle, because if they cared about the people more, they wouldn't go to war.
