lol...how come a 'war' be 'holy'..
Answer:
Buddhism suggests tnat Buddhists refrain from killing. However Buddhists do whatever they choose accepting the consequence o their progress towards enlightenment.
The term "holy" has no meaning in the Buddhist context as Buddhism has no deity or deity related sanctification.
"Can" implies "is it possible" not necessarily "is it permitted". Basically, anything is possible.
So, a Buddhist might be found participatinng in a war. This would explain why the Samurai of Japan, many of whom were Buddhist, were also the participants in the various feudal wars of the Shogunate.
