The meaning of war !!!

This post is for all those guys who sit over a table and talk about war as a viable option to end all their troubles with its international neighbours. Little do people realize what war really is, the general ideas for war people have is it will be something like a videogame (looks enjoying huhh!!), little do these people reaalize that war is the worst thing that can happen to the human race. It all seems logical if those being killed are soldiers from either of the countries, did anyone spare a thought to think what happens to the families of these soldiers. Sure every soldier is someones son someones brother, father ...... (it might sound filmy but its a fact).Why restrict ourselves to soldiers have you ever thought of lifes lost of innocent civilians, you may say "wrong place wrong time !!", have you every given a thought what would happen to you if your whole family was killed in a giffie due to some sicko's decision to bomb your city.
What I'm essentially trying to highlight here is how people expect to remain safe and sound (something like living in a cacoon) while all hell is breaking loose. The mentality all bloodshed to win a war is valid as long asa I'm not involved (most of the cacoons are drowned in hot water to make silk). People think that civilian life is least effected by war, I say Bullshit. Militaries cannot afford to waste their supplies on no good hostages & refugees (civilians of the conquered area), so the best policy adopted is aa pill into the brain to stop all misery (Don't talk about the UN its one large defunct body, think about the world war II).
Apart from the Blood and lives lost for some piece of land all the progress made by the country that took ages to build hasa been razed and we need to start from scratch. More poeple die from the after effects of war than from the war itself.
So it is my advice to everyone who talks about wars like a cup of tea,get a mental check-up from a doctor (who knows he actually might be a psycho). Even after reading all this you feel im wrong than watch the video atached below.
