People, in general, spend a good portion of their time looking for meaning in their lives. Establishing a set of goals and values on behalf of which to live and fight is, as we all know, a difficult task. Such a goal, however, is extremely more complex when what must be justified is not life but death. After all, where and how can one find arguments capable of giving meaning to a life dedicated to the propagation of destruction? How can individuals and nations accept in peace of mind the idea of killing or being killed?
