RE: We don't need war to KILL

I tend to agree, no easy solutions for these things, in fact, possibly no viable solutions at all?
War is an interesting thing to me in that humans seem incapable of preventing it, or getting into a position in which it seems the only option. Despite all the anti-war sentiment, all the pain and suffering it causes, someone's always ready to pick up a rock and throw it at someone.

@galenkp I look at war like I look at cancer. Only that war is worse coz we made it happen. So even if there is no cure today- there is a chance and hope and a goal to work towards.
The saddest part is the ones who want war, who engineer the crisis, are the ones who profit from it. And those who actually fight the war and suffer, gain nothing even if they win. The many people who die and are maimed and families torn apart are forgotten.
I'm pretty familiar with the cost of war having lost many people to it, during and post deployment. Many who fight and survive never really gain freedom from it, rather they come back to a fight of a whole other nature with PTSD and other ongoing issues. And then there's the innocents...
Rarely do those who orchestrate war suffer from it. Not on the winning side anyway.
Thanks for responding.
