I am left gobsmacked by the questions: 'Is War Inevitable?', as if one has a choice in the matter. It is unlikely that anyone asked this question, who came of age in WW II in this nation, would ever answer no. Yes, conflicts have become more defuse, with the 'enemy' less clear, but evil exists, it always has and always will.
The question of whether 'war' is inevitable is flawed and rhetorical: defense of freedom is something that is necessary, continuous, and will always involve costly sacrifice. I imagine that anyone having faced the seemingly unstoppable victories of Axis Germany and Japan in the first years of WW II would have regarded the question as almost ridiculous. It will always be necessary to fight to live free, or die as a slave.
