WAR

'Only the dead have seen the end of War'

This post wont be regarding whether going to/declaring war on some country/caste is ethical or not.Unfortunately war,guns,weapons are a necessary evil.Since some of our brothers are evolving in a reverse manner as far as their thinking goes......so we need such authority to atleast protect the masses.

Soldiers train themselves for a lifetime for war (and hope they never get to exercise all that they have been taught) I know that feeling won`t always be there but there will still be a part of them which thinks that patrolling is better than going to war no matter how much they deny that part.
In case of watching borders it is relatively ethical in a way but that too seems so irrelevant to me.Sunita Williams said something like (after reaching outer space)"You should be here.Its so beautiful,there are no borders".
The sheer amount of training to reach a high post is untrue.Only the dedicated and hardworking will get to the top after they have the right experience.

The only good thing that came out of War is online Multiplayer Video Games.Play acting is taken on a different level in many Multiplayer Games.Games like Call of Duty let u experience how it would be like for an American soldier,Russian soldier in WWII.

Another view here is what about the psychological war going on? (through our psyche)
Everyone is influencing our pattern of thinking daily.....Many people corrupt our mind (mostly by negative thought patterns)There are many Soldiers(in a way) which try to instill faith in whatever we do.

Such soldiers,present many years ago,include M.Gandhi,A.Einstein,A.Lincoln........
Some of them present in recent past are Nelson Mandella,Mother Teresa,Baba Amte.....
I would even go on to classify someone like a Nagesh Kukunoor,Sharad Upadhay in the same class since through their work they can influence the masses in a right way.
(Nagesh Kukunoor-Iqbal Director,Sharad Upadhay-Marathi writer)

So which enemy are they fighting against......?There are many enemies like anger,selfishness,laziness,etc. but ultimately it is the 'EGO' which causes all these.

The enemies,for starters how about Ekta Kapoor and her K serials.How ironic is it that her name is 'EKTA' meaning unity yet all that is there in each of her serials is how to teach people to fight against each other.Then there are people like Hitler who spread a distorted perception to the masses leading to deaths of innocent.

Lets hope that there are many soldiers awaiting to join the battle as far as psycological war is concerned.

A conflict can be resolved amicably. But everybody prefers 'an eye for an eye'.
About psychological war, its tough to guard ourselves from the external influences. Yet, giving in to those forces is never an option but can be the end result in some cases.

Nice post. Yeah, only the dead have seen the end of war.
