REAL LIFE IS NOT BOOKS, TOLKIEN'S STORY, WHILE DIRECTLY INFLUENCED BY HIS EXPERIENCES DURING WWI, DO NOT GIVE HIM DIRECT AND INFALLIBLE AUTHORITY ON THE SUBJECTS OF WAR AND PEACE AND EVEN IF THEY DID, THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE BOOKS IS THAT WAR IS BAD AND RUINS LIVES, EVEN IF IT IS NECESSARY, ALL PARTIES INVOLVED ARE INDELIBLY SCARRED BY THEIR EXPERIENCES AND IT ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE FAILURES OF MEN AND THEIR DESIRES!
