It's a lovely film to watch, but yeah, you have to ignore the plotholes and loose-ends. I'm not sure about what the war is about, though I think that is kind of the point in a way: it's a pointless war that Howl doesn't want to be part of. I got the book for christmas but i'm only a chapter in... and to me, it seems like there isn't actually a war! Perhaps it was something Miyazaki invented and then explained poorly? Not my favorite Ghibli film (Princess Mononoke > Kiki's Delivery Service > Grave of the Fireflies > Howl's Moving Castle) but yeah, it's still a great watch.
