Who Would I Be In A War?

What makes us keep going after the worst has happened? Is human instincts, “those with eyes had seen it burn and burn, understood that they were on the edge of a desert now. Still-they had opened for business, had polished the glasses and wound the clocks and stirred the fires, and waited and waited to see who could come.” (Sgh5 pg 181). They eyes of the people had seen their city their friends die and still they opened the business they forgot about prejudice and pride, by letting the Americans stay there in the barn. This chapter remained me much of the twilight zone. A city destroyed no one else but enemies Americans and Germans, they need each other to survive. Would you let in your house the people who destroyed your city? That is what the Germans did with the rest of the Americans there is a point where you just can´t fight anymore. Parents divorce, because they hit the point were is not worth fighting anymore people take different interests in life. Yesterday in class I was asked is war justified, I answered that it depends on each case, but then is said is it worth all the suffering for then suffer even more, isn´t there a peaceful solution to avoid pain for everyone. I think there is, a mediation is much better where you talk a reach a solution to a problem.
“You’re going to have to fight the communists sooner or later, “said Campbell. “Why not get it over with now?”(sgh5 pg 164) this is ironic, they are in war all sore and weak and they ask them to join the people who did that to them just to get a war out of the way. The Americans are in a war and want to get it over with and then they ask of them to keep fighting and obvious answer would be a no. One of the characters, I enjoyed most of this book is Campbell although he is right about the communists he talks in a way that makes ask what is this dude up to. I like that about the book, we get to see difference characters acting differently in war. Would I be the same person in a war than what I am now? I don´t know but I do not want to find out because I like peace.
