I think a good succinct way to put your feelings is that while you abhor war, the thought of "doing your bit" in a "good war" gets your blood up.

There's a bit of that, but it's more to do with the prospect of controlling massively destructive engines of war and of being in battle and surviving.

People have called war a game but really it's much more of a sport - with all that entails.

Of course, in an actual war I'd either go full on Rambo PTSD meltdown or just meltdown and be gibbering in the corner - and I would have killed people, which would be terrible.

Like I said, I'm being honest about how the prospect makes me feel, but that has nothing to do with what I think or what I believe we should be doing.
