Can't answer without details. One should never make decisions of that magnitude without information... That said, I would prefer to advocate war from a defensive position.
*grin* Depends on what you call an actual argument. A spoken one, no. But if you go with argument being a dispute, pretty much all wars, by definition, are just that.
I love looking up etymologies on such things so...
"arguere" - to make clear.
Yeah, I'd say war clears up who owns what parcel of land or gets to set up the rules all right. Well, at least from the pov of the folks waging it. ;-)
keke keke the etymology of "war" is what had in mind too.
But say, theoretically and totally hypothetically for example, it is possible to have war to determine which commercial establishments get defense funds, but that would not necessarily entail a dispute.....
True, but regardless of the -true- motivations of the war, it, by definition, has to have a dispute or conflict that the action ultimately attempts to resolve, even if the dispute/conflict is largely a pretextual one.
Or, modeling further upon the hypothesis you've offered, the war "makes clear" which commercial establishments get funds and which ones don't. After all, unless every single one out there gets funding via the war, there's necessarily an uncertainty made clear by the action. ;-)

All wars are arguments. Not all arguments are wars.
