Death is a destination humans all share; some taking a faster route by choice and others begrudgingly bound to arrive. In war the situations are often kill or be killed. It does not matter who the opponent is because according to Thomas Hardy " curious war is! / You shoot a fellow down / You'd treat if met where any bar is,” (Hardy 17-19). The casualties in The Men He Killed by Thomas Hardy and The Man I Killed by Tim O’Brien depict this situation and the trauma that they embed in the survivors

The entire landscape is a monochromatic patch of grey and black."

The mind is kept in sync by the existence of order and chaos. People must realize that without both forces, humans would live in n unbalanced reality.

Child soldiers have and still are a big problem in our world. These children suffer everyday from the pain and torture they experienced at war. Most child soldiers are drugged and are not aware of what they are doing. They were involuntarily chosen to commit terrible crimes and were threatened if they did not do otherwise. Many are terrified of these threats. Although many say that child soldiers will never change, they will never change if we never help them. These child soldiers should not be prosecuted

fighters, cooks, spies, suicide bombers, etc. However, many people today are questioning whether we should prosecute these child soldiers for their war crimes, or give them amnesty.
