Mankind has been warring since we first learned to use weapons. I admit, I was always the one who's support a war no matter what, and bestow glory upon the troops who fought; however, after listening to 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda', I've grown up a little and come to realise that war isn't all glory- rather. it's young men and women being sent off to kill and be killed and witness horrors beyond imagining- and yet we can't stop it. Why?
I have never fought in a war, and I hope I never will, so I cannot fully understand what these people have been through; I hope I am never conscripted, and I hope on behalf of everyone else, too.
When will we all stand up together and say we won't march any more?
Thanks
