In the chain of command of war,
There is a very small group of people, usually one after another.
One passes on instructions to another, and they do that, to the person next to them in the hierarchy till the foot soldiers on the ground.
Before you know it, a war has fully started!

When you look closely at the number of foot soldiers fighting in the war,
There are so few.
The weapons they fire, though kill, and destroy so many lives!

Look at the bombs dropped down by fighter jets or drones.
The military tanks do so much damage,

with one projectile fired off from their guns!
Sadly, for us all these projectiles donβt give us options on how much they will hurt us or destroy our lives!

Once you are hit by that projectile,
We will lose something, no matter how small or big!
Ask yourself, βwhat price am I willing to pay for this loss?β

βWar is fought by a few and we all loseβ out in the end!
War always seems to leave so many losses. It is scary and challenging. And very scary in this modern era.

The fact is in a war a country might win or lose its the soldiers and their families of both the sides who lose.

This article really hits home with its powerful message about the devastating consequences of war. The question posed in this article is a profound one: What price are we willing to pay for the losses inflicted by war? It’s a question that demands reflection and a collective examination of our priorities and values. War may be fought by a select few, but in the end, we all suffer the consequences. It’s a poignant reminder that war is not a solution but a tragic cycle of pain and loss.

A very thought provoking post. I have never been a supporter of war. War breeds and continues to breed war. The world would be a better place if we learned how to communicate without the need for violence or greed.

This is all so true. I think about all those innocents who get in the way of these weapons, of the families who will never see their loved ones again, of all the soldiers fighting. It seems so pointless in the end to risk so many lives.

No one win in a war. So it’s better to have no war at all. I don’t like that.

βWar is fought by a few and we all loseβ out in the end!”

Your post is like a piercing poetry. Your great writing skills penetrate my heart. Sad, the topic is so harshly real!

Moving and thoughtful post. War saddens me. No one wins. There are vast losses on both sides and families and individuals suffer immensely.
ππ
Interesting read. We lose a lot in war thats why Ive never been a supporter.
πππ
Till today I still dont know why war still happens. Ain’t we all suffering enough during this time?
ππ
I’m not a fan of war, though I understand that sometimes it has to be done. I wish the world would just come together.
ππ
This is a great message that many of us should be aware of. thanks for posting this and I agree, that wars come with a great cost and we are all paying for someone’s selfish gain.
ππ
Such a thought-provoking piece really highlights the unfortunate reality of war!
ππ
I am not a fan of war no one really does win a war. All it did was to destroy both sides. This is a really great message

Same thing happening in Russia now, Young Russians are being sent to a war based on fake news created by Putin.
