No minifigs were harmed in the creation of these images ;-)
Actually series like Gundam point out that both
sides in a war believe they are justified in their
actions and have the moral high ground.
Being against all war and weapons is no more moral than
being on either side, as morality is determined
by whatever doctrine(religious, political) a society is currently
preoccupied/deluded with. A very fluid thing, morality,
that's why scientists shouldn't be concerned with such concepts,
as they are meaningless and irrational. Conflict and war do however
advance science and technology, the only byproducts of human
civilization that will allow it to survive if this planet suffers an
extinction event (e.g. art and philosophy won't stop a killer asteroid,
but a beam assault rifle would).
So, a powerful mech with a big gun means another mech that isn't as
powerful is going to get vaporized, thus spawning a new
more powerful design. I find this good and declare it moral.

Pretty powerful statements you got there Brian! ;-)

Man, those pictures are awesome!!! The last one is my favourite; I love how the
BAR is sort of drifting in space. Excellent pictures Brian.

BTW I love how the whole Gundam series treats war seriously. It tells both
sides of the story, and in the end leaves it up to the two sides to duke it
out. Of course, the mecha with the greatest weapon of mass destruction wins,
but also the one who is most determined!

Hell yeah! ;-)
