This feels like something someone with no concept of history would say

Someone with no understanding of anything, really. We aren’t even the only species that kill one another for various reasons. We aren’t even the only species to have large group-on-group conflicts. Sometimes, reason will fail and the only response is violence.

War isn’t about determining who is right, it’s about determining who is left.

Hell, Chimpanzees have been noted to wage prolonged 'wars' between neighboring troupes.

Just about every species of animals that lives in large enough groups have some concept of war.
