War is a destructive reality. It destroys minds and tears holes in families, but we as countries have not worked out a more peaceful way to settle disagreements, so we go to war.
War can be internal or between many forces. What we don't realize is that war often does more damage than it's worth. I don't think that the loss of hundreds of thousands or lives is reasonable for any want that a country may have. Regardless of what we think about it, war is a constant part of our reality and will be for a long time to come. War changes us by morphing the way we see ourselves and other people. When you're in war, everyone around you is either your safety net or your greatest threat. War also changes people when they've been in a situation where they had to kill someone else. Taking someone's life changes you, and makes you see yourself differently. It hardens you.
