War is a worthless way of fighting and in my opinion nothing is settled during war. The things that are achieved aren’t even considered an achievement to most people. The aspects of war are only getting more complicated and it is even more difficult for soldiers and military families. One reason is uncertainty of how war is started. Another reason is finding time to communicate with the family member. The last reason is how it will affect families and relatives at home.
There are many reasons why wars are started between countries or even people within a country such as a civil war. They could be started because of oil or other necessities countries need. There may have been a dispute between two or more countries before and it began a war. Some are even over land and natural resources that are located within a country and are not allowed access by others. The war against Iraq and the United States for example was started by terrorists crashing into the World Trade Center
Someone who has a relative overseas knows how hard it is to have that someone gone for a year or even more. With a family member overseas it is hard to find time to communicate with that someone due to schedules at home and over there. According to some families, they talk at least once every week or less. There are also situations that scare some families because of their relative’s location overseas. Families can be split apart for sometime because of this and death can come to the soldier that can tear families apart too.
War can affect families and relatives at home in many ways. Families have to adapt to the family member not being home because if it is a parent there is less transportation to travel around and it will be difficult to do everything that could be accomplished with two parents around the house. During holidays, people overseas aren’t always allowed to come home and if they do it is only two weeks. This is only permitted one time.
War has many bad effects on others. People are still uncertain on how wars are started. Family members don’t always have communication with the relative overseas which makes it hard to talk to each other. Finally, it is very hard for families to adapt to the differences caused by an absence of a family member. These reasons are why war to me is worthless and does not solve any problems and never will.
