platt,
the moq's position on warfare also holds that the war must be a high quality
war, namely that the conditions must be right for a dynamic shift, and that
the people fighting the war themselves understand the purpose of it and the
intellectual concept they are fighting for (revolutionary war- independence,
civil war- unity). one war that doesnt fit this criteria is the vietnam war.
the idea was to prevent the perceived spread of communism, which many
americans felt no strong feelings towards. anyway, the reason i got into
that is because you said, 'pirsig justifies warfare,' and i dont mean to be
anal about this, but he doesnt justify warfare unless there is a mass
migration of people and society towards dynamic quality.
