I jump in your debate about warfare because I'm really interested into it.
Want or want not, violence is part of nature, like lymphocites who beat the shit out of virus, ect. It's not just part of human nature. The difference is that we structured massive violence in something we call "Warfare".

It's still strange when we think about it. Usually if you kill one person you go in jail and are repressed. But in war you are paid to go kill other persons and are rewarded for it.

That is because you are doing exactly what your government wants you to do, no questions asked.

Whoever try to refute that will fail.

I don't agree that it's part of human nature...

The human nature argument is mostly always used to justify immoral behaviour.

I believe the only thing integral to human nature when it comes to behaviour is the ability to reason.

In fact I believe the fact that humans can manage their instincts, thoughts and emotions is what sets us apart from animals.

We can logically define peace and rationally seek it... therefore peace does not defy human nature, nor is war an integral part of it.
