So here's the first serious thought I'm putting here.
War is so dumb. What's the point of it? People killing each other doesn't solve the world's problems, it just distracts us from the real problems by creating an even larger problem. So say WWII. Who won? Neither side. It's impossible to win a war. No matter which side you are one, there is only loss: of life, of soul, or happiness, of relationships, etc. No amount of land or money can sum up to a life that was taken and can't be brought back. If a side does happen to not take any loss, it wasn't a war, it was a massacre; and the "winning" side lost soul. Even the U.S. Civil War, fought for "freedom". Were slaves really free after that? Certainly in a better position, but even then they were trapped by a hateful society and only truly earned their free status in the U.S. through reasoning and peaceful talks and movements. Women's rights today are far better than they were even 50 years ago. Did we fight a war over it? No! So who's to say that there are problems in the world that just can't be solved peacefully?! (I mean no dishonor to fallen soldiers, on any side.)
