War is always the same; a waste of human life, property and time. Sometimes war is a necessary evil, as in World War 2, or to actually defend your country from invasion by a foreign force. However, the vast majority of wars are generally caused by economic or political power grabs by unscrupulous individuals. Many participants, as in countries, get dragged into wars though alliances with allies. The soldiers from these countries are dragged into conflicts they practically have no knowledge of, such as WW 1, The Vietnam War, The Korean War, and various other wars. All wars are justified by their native countries, but may or may not be justified by the individuals who have to fight them. All wars in a combat zone are pretty much the same; long periods of inactivity punctuated by short periods of violent activity where one does not know if they will survive or not. The stories of these young men all run through a common theme; war is always uncertain, as life is uncertain. But the uncertainty of war is far more intense than the uncertainty of day to day life during peacetime. Some individuals actually become addicted to this intensity, and miss it when they try to transition to civilian life again. Most, however, do not miss war a bit. A sobering documentary that should be seen by all young men who are considering any participation in the military.
