People say that war is hell. They have never participated in the war. Hell has returned to a moving world. It is seeing the reflection of a stranger in the eyes of your family and friends. "War is hell" sounds good. It made headlines and won the film contract, but it was just an empty title, which made irrelevant people look at it in another way when they walked through the real problem. If people really care so much, I won't see the pity and fear peculiar to most criminals and vagrants in their eyes. Veterans don't rot at home, and their wives and children don't call others dad. That's hell.

War is an attempt to impose conditions. War is trying to make something unnatural and not lasting. War can only be fought through fear and complete misunderstanding of our connection with those we choose to fight.
History seems to prove that war will eventually bring peace, but this is a wrong understanding. The end of the war did not bring peace, it just brought the end of the war. This confusion of defining the result of winning the war as a sign that we have achieved peace can be corrected by being willing to look at things in a different and clearer way.
