Day Two

For those generals and captains who lead the war, war is something that might be painful and fearful but must be endured and therefore logical. For those who volunteer to become a soldier, war is to feel more confident about themselves. It is a way to feel like a successful person who helps his country and people. Or it is something that you just believe in, and you feel that you want to fight for that team. For those who make the rifles, AK-47’s, and other destructive weapons, war is a time of economic benefit and just another reason to hire more workers. And then there are people like me who were forced away from their homes, and threatened unless they became soldiers. For such people war is just another form of slavery. When the war is over they still are part of this army and although they can visit their homes they will soon be called back for another pointless war. The only way for such people to ever be free is to die. But on extremely rare occasions, one does get to return to his home and adapt back to his former lifestyle. In the end, and the soldiers learn this the hard way, it might have been a war for change but the only thing that usually changes is the fact that the revolutionaries become loyalists and vice versa! And that is why the whole thing is senseless. Just because the revolutionists want to help the poor does not mean that will end up helping the poor. A lot of innocent poor actually die or lose their homes in such wars and their life worsens instead of getting better. The irony is that after a while, a new war starts, new people get recruited, and the whole vicious circle repeats itself again.
