The Problem of War
War is the most terrible thing that can happen on earth. On it, people destroy everything they see, not sparing each other. Unfortunately, the war did not pass by our homeland, leaving behind the “millions of scars” that some are healing up to now. So what are the horrors of war? It is this problem that E. Krieger raises in his text.
The author, reflecting on this issue, cites the example of the events at the power station on the outskirts of Stalingrad during the war. E. Krieger says that the Nazis began hunting for it from the first days of the siege, during the fighting, dropping eight bombs. The fate of people working at the station was terrible. Especially sorry fifteen-year student locksmith Kolya, who tore off his leg with a fragment of a bomb.
The author convinces us that the war is terrible, that it bears incredible suffering to people. E. Krieger admires the workers of this station, who, despite their suffering and injuries, continued to work for their
Just like E. Krieger, I believe that the war is the worst that can be imagined, so I can not disagree with the author’s opinion.
First, it brings unbearable suffering not only to defenders, but also to ordinary people. An example of this is the well-known blockade of Leningrad. It is hard to realize the number of people who died during this time. According to various sources, the number of deaths ranges from three hundred thousand to one and a half million, which makes it truly horrific to the burden of war.
Secondly, the meaninglessness of the war is vividly shown in Ernest Hemingway’s novel “Farewell to Arms!”. Lieutenant Henry understands that war is a murder even more cruel and meaningless than in the Chicago carnage. People destroy each other in fear and hatred, driven by animal instinct.
Thus, every person should realize the senselessness and insanity of war. It is from understanding this that people depend on whether there will be further wars or not
