I don’t understand why war has to occur to solve the world’s issues-- why people have to kill people. Guns don’t do the killing; the holder of the weapon kills the other person on the opposite side of the battlefield. I don’t understand why bombs have to screech through the air to rid of something that can be solved by talking things out in a political manner. I don’t understand why detonations have to be reached to discharge a reaction. I don’t understand why grenades fly when they don’t need too. Why bullets fly at mach1 speed to accomplish something that could have been solved a different way. Why scopes are able to peer into someone’s face from a mile away. Why bombers bomb, why nuclear warheads are launched, Why War Exists. War takes many innocent lives. War affects many lives of many people who aren’t even involved. War kills off environments; war is something of mass proportions that the human mind can’t even fully conceive, because the majority of the world doesn’t even know the truth.
War.
War has thrived for century’s right down to the beginning of man. Man fights for whatever he wants. But in this day in age, war can prove to end all. End all of man. Why does man continue to fight wars when they know with the one turn of a key? 30 nuclear warheads could roar through the sky aimed at, The United States, France, England, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, etc. All those countries could be blown up in a matter of seconds.
War is an excuse for people who can’t or don’t know how to talk to people. We use the use of our military as a sense of security to protect us from people who want what we have or would like to rid of what we have. We have sheets of metal stacked up at the border to try and stop people from illegally coming over to the United States, and why are they coming? The drug war is over taking their homes, there businesses and their families. Too solve our problems we turn to guns and bullets. Don’t get me wrong I still think we should behold a national army because not everybody will solve things in a peaceful manner. Some Nations resort to war because it’s their way of life and that’s how they like it. They like resorting to guns and ammo to try and solve their problems because they think it will be easier to shed blood instead of shedding words.
I believe that the United States should try very hard to talk to other countries before we result to helping anybody with our army or using our military for our personal use. I believe that mostly anything is able to be solved through conversation if you know how to converse well.
Just take Egypt for example, they were peacefully protesting. The only reason it got violent was because the people that wanted them gone decided to use brute force and they weren’t able to stop them.
