War has been apart of the world for a long time. I recently got interested in all this after hearing more about WWII and WWI. In class we've talked about reasons why war began and what happened. Recently after watching part of a movie in English I started getting interested in the technology and strategies used in war. I started to realize why there were some people strictly against war. Watching the movie and learning what went on from different sources like novels (although they are fictional they all try to be as real as possible) I started to think about how most people who fought in war died. It was hard to think about it, especially how soldiers managed to survive. I am not promoting or going against the idea of having a war but I just feel that its not a game. I play VIDEO games based on wars and some people online would say "it would be cool if I was in war" or "I want to join the marines" its funny and sad that people especially some younger kids feel this way without knowing that its not easy to be a soldier. In real war you probably wont be able to go in, kill six people and run away safely and for the most part THERE ARE NO RESPAWNS. Today's war is different from WWI and II its not comparable. There are newer weapons but also newer ways to stay protected. I cant say its safer but it is deadlier. Allot of people die and that's sad, in my own opinion if I HAD to fight in a war I would. I would also pray everyday to make it back in one piece (literally with newer weapons today this would be hard to do). War is bad but we sometimes benefit from it especially if were defending ourselves. When it comes to being pro/anti war I am in the middle.

  1. Hey, I agree with you, war is a neccasary evil. No body wants to fight but sometimes to protet our citizens we need to. It really makes you appreciate the men and women that put their own lives on the line each day.We live in an amazing nation and without war it would not be possible. We all want world peace, i pray for nothing more than that but is it relaisitc?
