For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
Interpretation
A just war must meet certain ethical criteria to be considered valid.
Ernest Hemingway highlights the moral framework that justifies a war, stating that it must be sanctioned by a legitimate authority, must arise from a valid cause, and must be driven by honorable motives. This quote encapsulates the ethical considerations behind warfare, emphasizing the importance of justification and morality in the decision to engage in conflict.
In practice
In a debate on military actions, one could reference Hemingway's quote to emphasize the need for ethical considerations.
He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and the lions on the beach. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy. He never dreamed about the boy. He simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on.

There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached.

I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive.
Last hopeless chances have got to work. Nothing makes sense otherwise. You might as well not be alive.
I am one who has always been interested only in the edges of the body and the spirit, the outlying regions of the body and the outlying regions of the spirit. The depths hold no interest for me; I leave them to others, for they are shallow, commonplace. What is there, then, at the outer most edge? Nothing, perhaps, save a few ribbons, dangling down into the void.
So much of adolescence is an ill-defined dying, An intolerable waiting, A longing for another place and time, Another condition.
Humanizing birth means understanding that the woman giving birth is a human being, not a machine and not just a container for making babies. Showing women-half of all people-that they are inferior and inadequate by taking away their power to give birth is a tragedy for all society.
The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.
