The purpose of this paper is to provide not merely the ethical standpoint to war through studying the essential meaning of itself but the point of view to morally justify some war in reality. In spite of a kind of social phenomenon and the fact that the principal agent of war is human. we are apt to think that war is irrelevant to ethics. There are three points of view that recognize the war with ethical perspective. The first point of view, ethical pessimism at war such as extreme pacifism takes the position regarding war as an absolute evil, claiming that war must be eliminated on the Earth. The second point of view, the stream of thought on war irrelevant to ethics being called the realism claims that the war has nothing to do with morality, being only political object and purpose. Those who are in this position believe a war to be a political question, and not an ethical one. The third point of view, ethical optimism to war which is called either practical pacifism or just war theory allows us to identify that some war may be morally justified. If we're at a third position of view, the matter raises a problem of how to justify it. It is important for us to morally justify a war since justification of the war makes the military conducting it stand up for its service and take pride in the values of its work. Of these opinions on war, two former ones may aggravate evil of war by ruling the room for ethics out from the field on war, while latter one deals with a war as a question of ethics due to the fact that human being cannot help breaking out it in the real world.
