ILN EP 85: Just War Theory

Pat was feeling militant, so Ben checks his bitch ass with a rundown of Just War Theory. Somewhere between Pacifism (believing war is always wrong) and Realism (believing war will happen no matter what and it rules), there lies a DMZ of ethical theory called Just War Theory, which answers important questions like when it's chill to go to war, what's chill in warfare, and how to be chill with your enemy once the war is over. Listen in as Ben and Pat explore the thorny issues exposed by war, like why is war the only time you can get away with murder? And was the bombing of Hiroshima an unnecessarily weird flex?
