Antiwar? Never heard of it







We don't see many themes of antiwar throughout the US because war has become the center for solving problems and disagreements. War isn't always seen as a bad thing because its ability to resolve issues that may not have been resolved otherwise. While the idea of war can seem scary, especially for those fighting within it, it is a natural part of our history that has been happening for decades. Antiwar activists see war as maybe a waste of money or lives that are sacrificed when it occurs. They see bloodshed as not worth it for the end result.They think there may be other ways of dealing with issues other than war itself. The website also looks into other countries and investigates the brutal deaths of millions of lives on the other end of our war doing. Even the innocent ones who may have lost their lives protesting just because of war. The theme of anti violence and not having to kill mass amounts of people. But what other ways can we resolve issues with countries that we cannot simply speak an agreement to? We engage in war because it is easier and fairer because the strongest party wins. It has nothing to do with verbal agreements like antiwar activists seem to think are influential. While everyone sees the topic differently its hard for our society (mostly) to think that there is any option other than war. While yes, there are certain arguments that should be solved more civilly, i dont think war will ever be outlawed or stopped for solving certain things. It has been around for years and the results have been seen therefore theres no reason to change what we are already doing.

We dont hear about antiwar much because not many people are antiwar.The US has engaged in wars for decades and it doesn't seem that they are going to stop anytime soon, considering wars have shown to be effective in decision making and eliminating of problems. It has shown to be beneficial, and because of this we keep doing it. While antiwar activists do shed light on the millions of lives lost, innocent or not, they do not give alternative ways that would take place of war for solving problems efficiently. The 1st amendment gives us our rights to fight this way, but it also gives activists the right to say their part.
