When you think of war do you think of guns?
Do you think of people getting a free pass to kill?
Do you think of Slaughtering?
Do you think it’s either his life or yours?
War: a conflict carried on by force of arms,
as between nations or between parties within a nation;
warfare,
as by land,
sea,
or air,
armed fighting,
as a science
profession,
activity,

methods or principles of waging armed conflict.
I think of the children who are orphaned,
I think of a dad, husband and child of someone walking out of his tent,
doing it for his baby at home,
so its safe for her.
Combat: to fight or contend against,
a fight,
struggle or controversy,
as between two persons,
teams or ideas.
It all comes back to survival;
this is how the human race survives,
by killing others.
Conflict: a striking together,
collision,
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reasons,
or the wrong thing for the right reasons?
Warfare: armed conflict between two massed enemies,
armies.
When you join the army,
you are seeing the world,
meeting new and interesting people,
than killing them.
Fighting: tending or meant to stir up a fight or hostility.
Confrontation: a bringing together of ideas,
themes,
for comparison.
One thing about war is:
it doesn’t determine who was right in the end,
only who is left.
Battle: a hostile encounter or engagement between opposing military forces,
a fight between two persons or animals.
Is it a crime to kill people to save other people?
Campaign: a systematic course of aggressive activities for some specific reason.
Fray: a fight,
battle,
or skirmish,
a noisy quarrel or brawl.
My one question: Why are we trying to make peace by fighting?
Peace: a state of mutual harmony between people or groups.
