Dying on the battlefield is the only honourable way to die.

why has this been ignored by philosophers?

Because we went through two world wars. Romantic militarism only works when people are ignorant of war.

what an honorable mix of my own shit and another man's blood

i have an honorable nervous breakdown on the brink of death crying out to my mother and to god for his forgiveness

i honorably call myself a weak failure and a coward for not being able to put myself in the line of fire

but not before honorably sitting around on my ass for weeks on end making gay jokes with my soon-to-be-dead buddies

I don't think this has to do with romantic militarism, I'm thinking about this from an Evolian perspective whereby action is the way to transcend meaninglessness, and military action is the highest form of action.

Which is essentially neo-Romanticism.

>military action is the highest form of action

How? Again, that's basically romantic militarism. It falls apart when people actually experience/witness warfare and suddenly realize
>oh SHIT war is actually hell, whooduf thunk?

The ones who glorify war are the ones most far removed from it. Mostly politicians who are trying to get poor young men to go die for them for economic interests.

It's very complicated and I'm not sure I fully understand it, but I believe Evola thinks that millitary action is the highest form of action because it's combining a nietzschean will to power with a physical and strategic act, and as such it turns into an almost mythic form of action.

and Evola fought in WWI and became paralyzed following a bombing raid in WWII, so he knew exactly how ugly war is.

Americans can afford to be warmongering idiots because they don't what a war is, a war isn't sitting comfortably in your own home thousands of kilometers from a battlefield you entered when you were sure of your own superiority. A war is not soldiers dying. A war means your house, your neighbourhood, your city gets obliterated, half your family dies the other half gets raped, an entire country in ruins with deads everywhere, with no one to care for others, with difficulty to find food, with cold, with despair.

Wars are horrible, only a fucking american autist couldn't understand how horrible it is and laugh heartily when you're talking of civilians deaths.One day maybe america will get invaded, your childrens slaughtered, raped, your houses, buildings and cities destroyed, we'll see then if y'all are atill warmongering idiots.

Honour is a meaningless meme that many men use to affirm what they perceive to be their precious masculinity and self-worth. There is nothing worthwhile in honour for its own sake; it should be pursued instead as a standard of conduct that promotes a harmonious society.

You died in a battle that was fought to advance the ambitions of greedy men? Well done; you are truly honourable.

Do you have some kind of rationale behind this or are you just spewing nonsense? Obviously not all wars are just and good, dying in the Middle East as an American soldier is anything but honourable, you gave your life for an oil supply so your buddies back home can drive a car for cheaper than the rest of the world.

I fail to see how succumbing to burns after running into a flaming building in order to save a person is less honourable than getting shot for some nebulous cause.

Obviously some wars are more just than others, and certainly dying on the battlefield can be honourable, but definitely not in all cases.
>>
>>1924691
The only things even remotely debate-worthy in that post are the "socialist and pacifist" parts. Honour, glory, motherland *were* invented as a ways of consolidating people under a state's control. Armies should be defensive in nature and shouldn't be glorified, nor would they be particularly necessary in the first place were it not for the existence of aggressors and warmongers that seek to further their ambitions and prestige. A spook that exists only to make you feel better about yourself and your masculinity isn't worth throwing your life away for.
>>
>>1921354

>why has this been ignored by philosophers?

Who says it has? I think most people would agree that a romantic or ideal death is the best death, but most people have a temperament colored with an aversion to death in the first place.

That said, philosophers by and large buy the utilitarianism meme, so an ideal death is a death with the least amount of suffering / most comfort possible. Romanticism, perfectionism, idealism, virtue, etc etc are not prevailing notions because of academic autism. You can't systematize such things so easily, so they seem to have less explanatory power

These concepts developed far before there were states, they developed because humans instinctively see value in strength and bravery. They still do, even now, which is why a war hero will always be considered more than you. You can convince yourself that "they're j-just spooks, everyone who disagrees is /pol/" if it gives you some momentary relief but that will always be a lie and will do nothing to fix what's wrong with you.

Death is death.

It's not beautiful, it just... is.
It's natural.

I'll die, you'll die, and someday nobody will remember us.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The secret is: try to LIVE a decent life, instead of thinking about dying.

I knew this sad man; he could have anything I ever wanted (a beautiful wife and daughter, a very nice house, etc), and yet he fucked up his life, became an alcoholic. His wife hates him and his daughter despises him.
And yet he always says: "I'd DIE for my family!" I think his daughter said to me: "He should LIVE for us."

Dying in battle is easy.
Living a decent life is insanely difficut - but that's something, you know.
That's an achievement.

Dying on the battlefield is only honorable if you're doing it for the right cause (protecting yourself and those you love). Doing it for increasingly abstract concepts like for a country or even worse, being motivated by 'pride' is pretty silly though. It is purely a way to engage your emotions into fighting. If there is already a good enough precedent to fight then you don't need to delude yourself with honour and bravery, you just do what you must do to maintain because failure would be unbearable.

If fighting was necessary to protect my way of life then I'd do it but pretty much all modern wars are guaranteed to be orchestrated by financial interests and I'm completely safe where I live anyways so it doesn't really matter

Having a mandatory draft is pretty cool except it forces people into learning stuff that's not exceptionally useful like obscure military procedures and silly rituals. A draft where you're instilled with order and discipline but where you learn actual transferable life skills would be much better.

I was >>1926653, couldn't resist.

War is for something, I agree, though an individual soldier's death is for him alone to define. You could be fighting for the slimiest oligarch in the most unjust war imaginable yet the act of your own dying can be separate from that. And plenty of people fight for sake of fighting, it's kind of odd to see people deny that.
>>
>>1926657

Who are you to define for others what is a "right cause" for them? To denigrate their pride as "silly"? Not everyone thinks like you, people value different things.
>>
>>1921354

"Honour" implies some higher moral standard or practice, and yet plenty of wars have been won and lost over decidedly dishonourable means. In order for your death in war to be honourable, you'd need to be killed by an enemy who was willing to bet their life that you, someone they had never seen before, never met, and only considered to be a threat to them, would also act honourably. Nobody would ever take that bet.
>>
>>1926784
He's not incorrect though. The more people choose to fight over ideology or worse, pride, the more pointless wars there will be. Only acceptable reason to fight is defense.

>To denigrate their pride as "silly"?

>>
>>1927068
"When was pride not silly"

Spoken like someone who has none. You can pretend all you want, but pride will always be a signifier of desirability and respect.

So just like normal american school?

You didn't answer the question.

More like ruined everything, all modern problems from islamism to feminism rooted in World War I and could been prevented if retards tried rational, diplomatical solutions, instead of autistic honour.

> Glory?
Yeah... Remember all that *glory* of Italians, who fought in two world wars? Was truly eally worth it to die in thousands, to be remembered as a joke.

So you naturally exclude yourself?

> until the 20th century it was the elites
Until 20th century it was honorable to essentially
defend your castles or whatever. Now you just die for Rothschild billions so there is no honor in that.
>>
>>1921354
Op provide proof you've served honorably and seen combat, otherwise you're just an alt-shitter with no grasp of the reality of war.
>>
>>1927309
You don't answer rhetorical questions. He posited that pride has always been silly, I disagreed.

>>1927330

Poor reading comprehension. I said that the value of a conflict is for the participants to decide, my opinion is as irrelevant to them as yours.
>>
>>1927352
There have been countless threads like this already, people who have served have posted timestamped uniforms. Oddly enough, no response.
>>
>>1927393
>You don't answer rhetorical questions
It was not rhetorical question. But to be more clear:

When did pride justified a war?

Well, that's some spooky shit.

Then please point out where I misinterpreted you.
>>
>>1927405
Doesn't have to, the thread is about individual experiences.

>>1927421

I explained that in the sentence following "Poor reading comprehension", your poor reading comprehension must have made you miss that. I didn't make objective value judgements on the intimate personal experiences of other people, the twat I was responding to did.

>>1927415
Most OPs are cocksucks, dearest namefag, but even hypocrites can have a point.
>>
>>1921354
It really depends of the war
Dying to defend your country in Napoleon's or Hitler's army isn't the same as dying as aggressor far from home in Wellington or Patton's army
And don't get me started on shit like colonial wars, Iraq and Vietnam

>Doing it for increasingly abstract concepts like for a country or even worse, being motivated by 'pride' is pretty silly though.
That is highly patronizing and contradictory to what you just said in the sentence before this one. If one regards one's country as the home of those that they love, the shield that they survive under, and they love one's country like their home, and feel that one's country is the home of the culture and history they enjoy and possess themselves, there is nothing silly about wanting to die for that.

Your line of thinking shows how little you actually think about things. If you were a part of a tribe of about 100 people some tens of thousands of years ago, would you feel the same way about this "abstract" tribe being worthless to go to war and die for? Probably not, otherwise you'd be a fucking leech that had to be extracted from the tribe for being so useless. But the same thing is happening here with "country", despite that a country is much bigger and contains more people that you may dislike. The country is still a tribe, it still is your home and is the seat of the culture and life that you and your family enjoy. If you don't enjoy the very air of your own country, you are a retard for still being in it and should get the fuck out of it.

Fucking retarded.

This is the America that lets Goodwill workers serve slop to recruits. This is the America that will give soldiers food "Not fit for XX state penal system". This is the America that values virtue-signalling over actually doing something.

You're a fucking idiot if you don't the modern military is maximum poz.

"We need women in the military" so that the E-6s and above have some fresh pussy at work.

Fuck these incompetents. Fuck your stupid moralism without checking out facts on the ground, you stupid motherfuckers.

The point of war is to make the other bastard die for his country, not you.
