To conclude, war is mainly a lesson for people to actually live in peace and not fight with one another as only one would emerge victorious. Killing and torture, fighting and death all are not plesant things that human beings would not want to see. And and some even went crazy after witnessing the death of friends. But at the same time, it also brings out the best of a man. The stronger side of us and our purpose of being a real man. That we can be depended on to defend our own freedom and country. (WOMENS TOO)
