The Life After Surviving War

If you were in war you would surely want to know every move, shoot, or kill. What if everyone had to be drafted into a war once in their life but could get out after? Do you think everyone would die faster or fewer would die? Drafting into a war can play a major role on one’s life and can change them dramatically. People might hate their lives and some might hate war especially with war being as secret and cruel as the Vietnam War. I believe that there is no reason everything should be hidden no matter how much it may hurt.  Killing people for a sudden move should have been against the law back during the Vietnam War.  Killing innocent people to me is cruel and shows that you don’t have a good heart. In Ron Kovie's 

Reflections on the Vietnam War: The Things a Warrior Knows, he has suffered from the Vietnam War, paralyzed and scarred forever, but is proud to be a living example of what happened. He is a proud veteran who now lives to tell the younger generation the stories of what he witnessed. Kovie mentions that war has taught him to never show hatred and that love and forgiveness are more powerful than it. War can teach you life learned lessons. In Kovie's case he learned a lot of positive things while others in war don't. Some people just kill and continue. After Kovie war sentence was over he know tells stories to help people look at war as he does. He wants people not only to know the bad things about war but also the positive. Not only that Vietnam was a cruel war but that some good people survived from it. I can't imagine what life would be like without war.  War just seems to be part of this world today now but one day when all are through fighting we all will unite somehow to become one. We won't have to fight anymore.
