War Brings More Harm Than Good

There are many wars such as The Vietnam War, The Korean War, The Persian Gulf War, The Iraq War and also The Afghanistan War. Countries go to war due to unresolvable issues and they think that by killing and destructing the most, they win the war. For example, The United States government viewed involvement in the Vietnam War as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam and part of their wider strategy of containment. First and foremost, in a war nobody wins. War often results in the destruction of many properties and lives. Poison gas as a chemical weapon was principally used during the World War 1, and resulted in an estimated 91,198 deaths and 1,205,655 injuries. Chemical warfare which includes chemical, biological and nuclear is often cruel. In my opinion, going to war brings more harm than good for at least three reasons.
Firstly, there are many casualties in a war. It is estimated that 378,000 people died due to war each year between 1985 and 1994. Soldiers and civilians are not spared as many of them die due to either war injuries or diseases. Many more are disabled or suffer serious injuries, physical or mental. Even those who managed to survive may suffer from depression, anger or guilt if any of his/her loved ones did not make it. If it were not for the modern medical advances there would be thousands of more dead from disease and infection. For example, in the Iran-Iraq War, 5,000 survivors seek medical treatment regularly and about 1,000 are still hospitalized with severe chronic diseases. Women, children, the old and sick are usually the ones who suffer the most.
Secondly, there are many crimes committed during or after the war. The behavior of troops in warfare varies considerably, both individually and as units or armies. In some circumstances, troops may engage in genocide, war rape and ethnic cleansing. The unusual circumstances of warfare can incite apparently normal individuals to commit atrocities. More crimes are also committed
