Johnny Got His Gun Anticipation Guide Question 9


War is a necessary evil in our world that could bring out the good and the bad in people. War is completely necessary. There are also wars such as the Cold War when there were no actual bullets fired but it was just a series of smaller, more intense competitions instead. These competitions consisted of the Olympics, the race to the moon and other major accomplishments like them. There is also when people say war but it is not as brutal or dangerous as it actually is. As much as war is hated, however I see it being completely necessary. Territories wouldn’t be entirely defined without war. There is a need for leaders and there are frequently individual leaders that can dominate the world. Wars are only as evil as someone makes it. Look at World War II, Adolf Hitler killed so many people making it the worst war statistically by deaths. Death is certain. There have been many stories about soldiers dying for their country in honor. Everything that you see about war seems to be bad. Most of the soldiers die and the conditions were often horrible especially prior to World War I. The results may not be exactly what you anticipated before entering the war. The honor that comes with serving your country is unmatched through anything else. This is where patriotism comes in, when a soldier is willing to save his country at the cost of their own life. When the soldiers come back home, they are praised because the government supports their decision to join and their sacrifices that they’ve made while in the military. There are multiple foundations and projects that support the warriors coming back home. Everything that comes with being in the military provides a great memory and foundation for what the soldier plans to do when he comes back. Being involved in a war has its ups and downs but you can't disagree with how far we've gotten so far.
