The Sad Truth About War

War is the science of destruction. War is hell. It settles nothing. People do not want war. War springs from causes wholly outside the lives, interests, and feelings of the people. Unfortunately, so long as there are men there will be wars.

War will make corpses of us all. Even a successful war is a loss to most families. In war, there are no unwounded soldiers, and only the dead have seen the end of war.

The war does not end when you come home. It lives on in memories of your fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives. It endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that isn't going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street. - Barack Obama
