I've been watching Band of Brothers and it's really quite a good series... I'm only about half way through the collection. It's frightening thinking that war is or was like that. True, as graphic and realistic as it appears on the screen I can't even begin to imagine the hell that the people had to go through during that time, I can't picture it at all and for one, I'm glad I wasn't born during those times, it must have been brutal.
Flashing forward to modern times, sure we use more technology and seem to be able to do things remotely or even make it appear more glamorous but there's nothing appealing about war, at all! So many people have lost their lives meaninglessly. I appreciate that there's always been a cause, but it seems such a waste to lose one life - but countless thousands in the space of a few years is harrowing.
I'm sure they as they do now, believe this war will end all wars, but it doesn't. It may postpone it for a bit but then it flares up somewhere else and then someone somewhere has to step in. I just hope that we are able to work out issues with more diplomacy.
