War Not Worth It

            “Many U.S. veterans say Iraq, Afghan wars not worth it”~ Yahoo News. The problem with war is the road is not clear. There is always a cloud of suspicion about why a country wages war. Politicians throw out a lot of misinformation to confuse their citizens. After participating in the Persian Gulf War, I can say also it was not worth it. Not one service member I served with looked forward to going, but not one of us refused to serve. The problem I have with war is the cost in lives. The innocent men, women and children that are killed for a cause that is not clear. You might say the people of a country are not innocent. Ask yourself, if war was waged here without you wanting it are you guilty or innocent? The price we pay for war; in mental, emotional, and physical pain as well as tax dollars spent and lives lost makes no sense to me. Until next time.
