War

I’m sitting here watching the Patriot movie, and I can’t help but be captured by the awesome power of war. Conflict is past, present, and future. War has plagued every generation and unfortunately, it will continue to stab at the hearts of the future population. A positive of war is that it can bring about many new improvements on society. The World Wars brought many new technologies which I think are pretty awesome. The Civil War was a segway for many American advancements. I do have a question while I’m am writing this right now. Can all the improvements of war justify all the killing and death resulting from the war. Loved ones die from war and families are crippled because of the devastating effects. Medicinal improvements have been creating also from the hardship. Many new technologies have been created in the medical departments resulting from equipment that had been used for killing prior. The tactics of war have been improved from the olden days. From marching across open fields to tactical warfare through strategy and the use of technology, the American military is a force to be reckoned with. Throughout the years, war violently rips families apart, but it’s not until the world comes together to change it for better. We can do this and defeat the killer that is named war.
