Horrors of War

War leads to oppression and leaves negative implications on all people and societies by impacting the poor, women, children, and nations as a whole. "War is a state of violent conflict between one or more groups" (Rasenberger 3). Rasenberger defines war as a state of conflict between one group within itself or several groups in combat with each other, what is not mentioned are the after-effects of war. War itself leads to many civilian and military deaths, an estimated 1.5-3.8 million people died during the Vietnam War and an approximate 500,000 people died in the Iraq war. The biggest tragedy of War is that it always results in fatality, but another key, negative, factor to understand is that after the War many adverse implications arise. Post-war ramifications in the nation fall upon the poor, women, and children, making them weaker and less motivated leading to the downfall of a society. Regardless if a nation wins or is defeated in war they have to deal with consequences of war and find solutions to the impacted people and society. It is essential to understand that there is never a true victor in war because regardless of the outcome, fatality and a fall of morale within society on both sides are inevitable. War has often been the solution to situations that required force or violence, but in recent times this has

When people talk about war it tends to be a sore subject. Although I stated what I thought on the outlook of how the war tells the story of those whose lives were lost in it the outlook on war can vary an unlimited amount. My first reasoning on my argument is that war consumes those involved. By involved I mean anyone who has been directly

Considering the scenario mentioned above, it deems necessary to prevent any more outbreaks like these. Necessary steps should have been taken in order to prevent such a massacre from happening. The three most important foundations required to fight against violence are: communication, early

Dating to the beginning of civilization, war continues to be a repeating occurrence in the world whether it be with oneself, society, or the outside influences in the world. In terms of war between countries, there is the growing controversy over its utilization and purpose when a country is predisposed to a situation foreboding unavoidable conflict. War is the only solution to certain situations but cannot be considered a panacea to all the issues prevalent in the world. The reasoning behind this is that war produces consequences some of which that are permanent. War has always spawn more conflict, gives disfigurement to human bodies, death and occasionally affects the state of one’s mind in areas such as mentality, emotions, rationality

War, if justified, seems to be inevitable. Those who have experienced any physical conflict know that one of the most significant parts to war is fear. Fear, although it is an unpleasant emotion, can be useful in battle, to keep those fighting on edge and remain vigilant. Elie Wiesel explains just how fearful he was as a young boy during the holocaust by stating, “Fear was greater than hunger” (Wiesel 59). For Wiesel to exaggerate the fact that fear was more prominent than hunger is significant given the fact that they were forced to function on little to no food already. Fear is the most significant emotion felt during any conflict, regardless of the circumstance, and can be proven so in any battle ever fought.

War is a horrible thing that comes out of hatred in people’s hearts and produces tragedy around it. War comes and goes but in its path are people who have to suffer through the hardships it brings. Two of the most notable aspects of war is that war is a fight for power and that produces loss of family.

War can be defined as armed conflict between nations or states or even different groups within a nation or state. All these wars, approximately 14,000 in the past 5,000 years, take innocent civilians away from their family, home, what they know for months or even years at a time. Often times the conditions these individuals are living in while at war are far from the normal life they previously lived. Vets often see and have to do certain task that no human being should be required to do. Leaving behind a lot of mental repairing to do once back home. Once a war comes to an end, these civilians are thrown back into a culture they have been away from for months, even years with little to no direction on where to start to build their lives again.

One of the biggest controversies facing America today is war. The US has been involved in many wars and violent conflicts throughout our history. To politicians, it may seem like using our military is an easy solution for problems here and in other countries. However, it does not come without consequences, including the obvious one;loss of lives. Even if the United States wins the conflict they have inserted themselves in, it cannot be forgotten about how much of an impact it can have on our own people, more so than the lives of the people we are against. If the US is going to send its men and women to kill other men and women, they need to assure that it is for the well being of the

“Courage isn’t a matter of is or is not; it’s about being afraid and doing what has to be done in spite of it” (Jon Pertwee). War is always hard, no one wants it and many people try to avoid it. No one wants to see their kids die, or for them to see people they know very well, even love, burn. No one wants to bury their kid or their husband, father, wife, mother, or anyone. War in itself, is needed. War is profitable to the winning side, war reparations and the payments made to soldiers help the economy. War can also defend the natural human rights.

I consider myself a lucky person because I never had the chance to live a real war events. I learned in school about wars involving my country, I read many books about wars, I watched many movies about wars, but I never have experienced the emotions of war. Anyway, there have been wars since the beginning of the world and continues to exist today. In my family there are few members who have experienced the horrors of war and even my parents told me about the negative effects of war seen through the eyes of children. I understood how bad war can bring both to a human life and in the life of a nation. But most of the time, I thought only the negative effects of war in terms of economic, social, loss of lives, and less on the

War is hell; there is no other way to put it. No matter how many times bards romanticize war and battle, there is that ultimate, inherent ugliness involved in the business of killing. There is no honor or heroism in dying for your country, you just die, it is a great tragedy and there is nothing you can do about it. Mortality is always present on both sides fighting the battle; there will continuously be casualties. Suffering, misery and destitution are constant whether on the march, sitting in the trench or charging across no man's land. The pain is felt on both warring sides, everyone suffers, war brings nothing but anguish, joy and happiness are non-existent. No one rejoices war, unless they are zealous
