War Is

War Is... War is unkind to servicemen, women, animals, flora, fauna, nature's terrains, seas, atmospheres, and everything else War is unjust and unethical to everyone War is the slaughtering of innocent young and old men and women of both sides which are fighting for their leader's version of freedom, or simply protecting themselves from so called enemies War is fought on both domestic and forgein lands War is authorized and legalized mass murder of both sides War is an inevitable necessity evil in order to be free War is beyond expensive monetarily, mentally, physically, psychologically, death stats, and causality states versus survival stats War is heartbreaking, heart-wrecking, and heart-wrenching, to the servicemen, to the parents, lovers, wives, husbands, and children of servicemen on both sides War is caused by several different variables usually for economic and territorial gain religion, Nationalism, revenge, Civil War, revolutionary, being defensive, ethnic cleansing and other ideological mass killings, globalism, world domination, and so many others War is fought by young and old men and women as either draftees, or volunteers War is ugly War is horrific War is traumatic War is dramatic War is psychologically scarring War is terrifying War is brutal War is common War is unpopular War is propagated War is hated War is detrimental War is immoral War is sometimes manufactured War is unpreventable War is fighting for your and their commander-in-chief's ideologies whether you like it or not War is glorified War is sometimes created by opposing forces in order to gain something from one another War is everything I mentioned above and so much more War is not a favorite of mine, however, as United States Navy veteran and having lots of veterans in my family as well there is no harm in honoring and respecting the young and old men and women who died in war for us, and those that didn't die in battle but still served in the military for all of us!

I could not agree more. I was so glad you included "men and women". Sometimes people forget one of the sexes. "War is brutal War is common War is unpopular War is propagated War is hated War is detrimental War is immoral" Well done!

Thanks, so much, Caren, for your kind words. I truly appreciate it and you're welcome about having both sexes in there because both sexes fought in all wars as well. Yes many people do forget the other sex which is definitely wrong!
