Eh met a guy recently. He didnt glorify war but he bitched about how he's far enough into his military career he might as well finish and get full retirement but that it sucked not actively being in a war cause it was boring.

And judging from his face he's taken some hits. He had some scars.

Different kinds of people I guess. I work with another vet and he about dived across the room when a inmate rolled a spray bottle across the floor in his direction. I asked him about it and he said he had a flashback of a grenade rolling across the ground at him.

I wasn't talking about on a personal level, but what war means in general.

during war, there are: rapes, human trafficking, forced combat, the destruction of families/communities, etc., and of course all of the death.

there are also long lasting effects, too, whether it's the PTSD people who experienced it might suffer or the physical damage done to them or the natural resources around them due to all of the contaminants that might have been used.
