WAR

            Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could get along, if there was no fighting, bickering, or hatred between one another? It is sad to think that there can be so much hate between people and countries that it leads us to war.

             People may like the glory that war brings them for protecting their country, but War is a terrible thing. No one should have to lose their life because of the choices the government has made and the fights they get into with other countries. We always learn that fighting is not the answer when in reality we see that it is the way we solve some big problems, and it is sending the wrong message making fighting seem ok. America is in a never-ending war, it has been going on for so long that most people have to ask why were in one. It is just a cycle that does not end.

            Showing respect for those who die for our country is something that is needed and should be done, but I still think people should not have to die for our country in the first place. It is always a negative and sad thing when we hear about war, the only happy news we can get is about a loved one not dying. I could not even imagine losing a loved one in war, I do not think I would support them going in the first place. It is just a terrible thing.

            My hope is to some day end the war we are in, and hopefully stay out of and prevent new ones. It would be great if we did not have to keep shipping out and losing our soldiers, and no one would have to lose a loved one in such a terrible way.
