Wars?

How useful are they? I don't know!
But reading some books and some articles somehow leaves me despondent feeling that they wont work!See a piece here

Also weird is how people respond to army, the people who put down their lives for some politicians decisions! See this article
This part of the text particularly strikes me as sad!

Late at night, when it was no longer Monday and not yet Tuesday, as I landed at an airport, I saw men in uniform again—this time they were Indian soldiers, wearing the blue United Nations caps, returning to New Delhi after a tour of duty as peacekeepers in Sudan. I went up to them, shook hands with them and thanked them, and said: “Welcome back.” They smiled, genuinely surprised.

Nobody else seemed to care. They had gone to maintain peace far away

Well!
