  We fight wars for freedom but whilst we fight we are anything but free and the aftermath  of war is just as bad , no one who as been through a war or felt the personal touch of war likes it and a lot do not want to talk about it or think about it. I did not see too much of war but i was effected by it  in more ways than one. I was born during a world war. 

 Some glorify war, get some sort of kick out of all the gore make it as though it is some thing exciting,  Men come back from war today a mess where is the glory in that? Where is the glory in seeing your mates killed, litterally blown to bits,others come back shaken and disabled for life.

  Its all in your head if you lived it you would not get any kicks out of it. If some one said right," your seventeen tomorrow lad your of to war im not asking you im telling you", would you be so keen, "you go or be shot.".  Those lads were truly brave and so were all the rest who put there wack into fighting the war including women left at home to keep the familys together. flew planes, became mecanics and nursed the wounded. The same in all wars the pain and suffering is real not a fantasy.
