Did Tolkien find the idea of war honourable? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien only belived war was right when it was in self-defense or you were put into slavery or subjugated. They kind of nod to this in the movies when Sam says, "There are some things worth fighting for in this world." Tolkien belevied every human being had certain inalienable rights......You know the rest. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
