"War is bad. Let's not do it any more."

Good! War is bad. And we should try to not do it anymore. Train and prepare for it, but avoid it as much as possible.

I worry that you are glossing over the key concept.

I say war is bad. I say we should avoid war. What that means is that we should prepare, we should build weapons, we should have a clear foreign policy so that no one "stumbles" into a war. And if war comes, let us win it.

The Left says a lot of the above, but they mean it differently. They say war is bad. They say we should avoid war. What that means is that we should not spend money on defense. We should give in to all foreign powers -- and if war comes, we should try to lose.

I think women in combat helps society decide that losing the war is the moral choice so that the killing stops. The Left likes this idea. I do not.
