Let’s face it, hardly anyone really cares about all those who tragically lost their lives fighting other people’s wars, do they?
Or those who suffered terrible pain and injuries whilst doing so.
Or even think of their loved ones and the impact it had on their lives.
The plain fact is these unfortunates have been routinely used as cannon fodder for centuries by some of those who would spend their entire lives cosseted and protected in lives of luxury.
Isn’t that what all these wars are really for?
To enable a select greedy few psychopaths who have climbed to the top of the pyramid to live in luxury?
Great Britain declared war on Germany two times (1914 and 1939) and the consequences of that are still being felt today.
Meanwhile, as difficult to believe as it seems, given what we know of war, there still seem to be thousands of people worldwide clamouring for an escalation of the war in Ukraine.
A war against a nuclear armed superpower no less.
Weren’t the 2 atomic bombs that were dropped on the citizens of Japan enough?
We can do no more to honour the dead and the injured than to do our absolute best to ensure that there will be no more future wars.
Didn’t our forefathers say that World War 2 was the war to end all wars?
