When is war justified?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Modern revelation states that we are to ‘renounce war and proclaim peace’ (D&C 98:16) … .

“However, we all must also be mindful of another overriding responsibility … .

“There are times and circumstances when nations are justified, in fact have an obligation, to fight for family, for liberty, and against tyranny, threat, and oppression” (Hinckley, “War and Peace,” 80).
