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 simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on.

Besides reasoning about matters of fact, men also make moral judgements.
I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
We all become well-disguised mirror image of anything that we fight too long or too directly. That which we oppose determines the energy and frames the questions after a while. Most frontal attacks on evil just produce another kind of evil in yourself, along with a very inflated self-image to boot.
I must achieve internal consistency.
