Millions dead, tens of millions injured, for what? For a petty
             argument between two countries. War is devastating to countries and most
             indefinitely individuals. Men can be left disturbed mentally, physically,
             and socially for the rest of their lives. Is this necessary? Well maybe
             you should decide after reading the next few paragraphs. You can decide if
             the war being fought is a war of dignity and glory as everyone would make

             supplies to the men on the front. Kat could not even walk. Then while
             Paul was taking him back to the First Aid center the man said, "He's stone
             dead." Paul was so oblivious to what was going on that he simply replied,
             "No, he's just fainted." When he looked at his hand and found a bullet
             wound in the back of Kat's head he was so stunned that he could not even
             think or see straight. In the real world people would leave their homes
             cheerful young men and return tattered worn cripples. Men would return
             with missing appendages. Some would return without legs. Others would
