The trauma they experience can have long lasting effets that affecting how they act in society. It all depends on how they handle this trauma as to whether or not they can function in society.Adam B. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03217095046805213680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-30296543561307980102010-10-30T18:56:53.769-04:002010-10-30T18:56:53.769-04:001) I wish that war were unnecessary and it would b...1) I wish that war were unnecessary and it would be if everyone in the world thought that way, but not everyone does. Sadly one person ordering others to pick up weapons and attack can lead the world to war. Countries can settle their arguments by compromise but sometimes people feel that is not enough. Some cultures believe it is their soul purpose to kill another. Though I wish that this was not the case, war is necessary when it involves people who are unwilling to compromise. <br /><br />2) I think it is hard for soldiers to go back into society for three reasons:<br />1. They dehumanize other people in their minds so much just to be able to live with killing others, that once they return to society it will be hard for them to connect to people that they once had common interests with.<br />2. Taking another persons life is a horrible thing and these soldiers understand that. They are able to live with it while they are on the battle field because it is kill or be killed out there but once they return to society it hits them how much damage they have done.<br />3. People can try to imagine what soldiers have been through but the truth is they will never know unless they actually experience it. I think it is hard for soldiers to connect to others who are trying to sympathize with them because these people have no idea what the person is going through.Morgan O 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511398036767890580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-87867318422300652032010-10-27T18:25:55.002-04:002010-10-27T18:25:55.002-04:001.

There will always be leaders who declare war on other countries for religious wars and other reasons. But there are other ways to settle things, like at the diplomatic table or trading.<br /><br />2. Soldiers that were in action will always have problems. That's why you see so many soldiers today with PTSD- post-traumatic stress disorder. It occurs after soldiers return home but they still are not at peace inside, they have nightmares, jump at slight noises, etc.Kyle N.1-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15312765868469341714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-21748514863231932962010-10-24T22:22:20.366-04:002010-10-24T22:22:20.366-04:00Spencer P., most wars are caused by a different se...Spencer P., most wars are caused by a different set of views and morals. I think that a lot of wars could be avoided if the nations were to possibly come to some sort of accord. But again, there are other wars that are caused because of evil people, who would most likely not accept any sort of compromise. I'd say that quite a few of the wars we've faced and will most likely face could be avoided if the countries first tried to talk it over with one another instead of plunging head long into war. If it were a war with someone that couldn't be swayed by their want to destroy and concur, then I have to say that death and some destruction is sadly unavoidable.Lottie W. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03058514952593615089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-56357313415359587552010-10-24T22:19:24.817-04:002010-10-24T22:19:24.817-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lottie W. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03058514952593615089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-34533317378404221462010-10-24T18:37:26.802-04:002010-10-24T18:37:26.802-04:002.

Some people may be able to deal with the trauma of war differently than others, but it effects them just the same.Sarah N. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/10427424176735127249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-49279316979311665462010-10-24T17:49:55.300-04:002010-10-24T17:49:55.300-04:00Lottie W., I agree with what you are saying, but d...Lottie W., I agree with what you are saying, but do you think there is an alternative to war that does not involve deaths and destruction but is also an efficient way of settling problems?Spencer P. 1-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11909125896200848411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-33744589204593689132010-10-24T17:47:51.756-04:002010-10-24T17:47:51.756-04:00Avi D., you say war is necessary, but is settling ...Avi D., you say war is necessary, but is settling a dispute worth hundreds of thousands of lives?

But I can see how it could be a necessary evil. Some wars were caused by misunderstandings but others were caused by some corrupt person that wanted to concur another nation. Without going to war with that corrupt person, they would be allowed free reign and run amuck. Over all, war is devastating but sometimes certain situations call for it if one wishes to survive.<br />2. Soldiers will always have some sort of physiological trauma after witnessing the horrors of war. Some would be able to live somewhat normally while others would be unable to. It has to do with their emotional and mental stability. But even if they did have the strength to continue trying to live normally, there would always be a part of themselves that they have lost.Lottie W. 7-8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03058514952593615089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912002613105678034.post-36935012708894832562010-10-24T16:24:57.274-04:002010-10-24T16:24:57.274-04:001.

Without war, hostilities may not end and a bitter rivalry will emerge from two or more countries.<br />2. Soldier will have always seen something others around them have not. Whether they can live with or not has to do with their own personality. However, the person who has witnessed war will always be a little more different than the one who has not.Avi D. 7/8https://www.blogger.com/profile/14733773179687755611noreply@blogger.com
