Do you have the courage to see what war really looks like?

Question

I don't care if these dead children are Arabs or Jews or Christians or any religion at all, but you need to understand what really happens in war. It will take a strong stomach to look at these mutilated children, but one you do, you will have a clear understanding of how horrible war.

Go past the pitures of kids writing messages on the missiles and look carefully at the mutilated bodies of children

Answer 1

Pictures are only half, if that, of what truly happens in war. To truly understand it, you must be, or have been a part of it. Yes there are many things that an average person finds offensive, but to be honest with you, being in a situation like that, you do become desensitized to it the longer you are faced with it.

Answer 2

I suppose that since you have looked at the pictures on this site you are now an expert on warfare. I find it funny that most people who have never fought in war are so naive. They seem to think that everything is black and white and that soldiers have all the time in the world to contemplate the decisions they are faced with in combat.
Anyone who has fought in a war knows that it is seldom black and white and few soldiers know exactly what they're going to do until faced with combat, and when they are faced with combat they have no more then a few seconds to react...By looking at those pictures you are only looking at one side of the issue. I hate to break it to you but war is not all prim and proper like it is in the movies. People get killed in horrible ways and are horribly maimed by ALL participants. This is not a new phenomenon, but has been going on for thousands of years. If you don't want to see pictures like this then do something to prevent it from happening, but don't ever cast judgment on a situation until you have an understanding of the entire picture rather than the part of the picture you WANT to see. Also, if you think you have an understanding of what war really looks like from a few pictures then I don't think you are in a position to judge in the first place.

Answer 3

I fought all the way across Europe in the front-line infantry. There is no mutilation that I didn't see every day for over a year of steady killing.
That's the way it is with wars. They're not fought for recreation or amusement.
The kids that I saw were not Arabs and Jews, but French, German, Belgian, Austrian, Czechish. They're all the same when an artillery shell explodes in their play yard.
Not all wars are to grab up someone else's land, it's often to keep someone from grabbing yours.

Answer 4

war is not pretty, no one has ever claimed that war was pretty. death is a part of war, an unfortunate part, but a part none the less. and in war even innocent people get killed, they are not targeted (unlike in terrorist attacks where the innocents ARE the targets). but innocents do die. the horribleness of war is why not everyone is fit to be a soldier, too bad those who are unable or unwilling to face the horrors of war are so quick to criticize those who are, and who often die for the freedoms of those who criticize them. if you are american i don't agree with your views or beliefs, but i will proudly do my duties as a soldier to give you the right to those views, just remember that you never know what you have until you lose it...freedom is no different.

Answer 5

Well I live in Belfast, and I remember the war here, being evacuated from my house every day because of bomb scares at the fort (barracks / place of British soldiers), having my house raided for guns, documents and listening devices, having my best friends mum arrested for possession of arms. Having British soldiers threaten a 70 year old man with cancer. Shootings, protests, having buses, vans etc hi-jacked. And British soldiers used to aim their guns at the ground so the bullets would bounce up and kill Catholics, then they'd get away with it by saying that they aimed for the feet!

Answer 6

Yes. I have already served in a war. Vietnam.

Yes, war is horrible. I forget which general said it now, but the quote from him was "War is hell." It's unfortunate to go to war, but what're you gonna' do when someone is trying to kill you?

Answer 7

I have not personally seen war but my husband, father, and uncle have all served. I know that war is horrible and death happens to all of all ages. It is awful but it does happen.

Answer 8

i already have and yes i would do it again if i was not disabled. when our country calls the brave men and women do what it asked of them without crying about it. i have a very high respect for any active duty or vet no matter what they did it is all important.
