War is Hell, Don't Go

I always thought that a good military exercise should be that anyone who actually wants to go to war should be the very last person we hand a gun to and i couldn't believe the ridiculous comment by Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, that she backed Brits going to Ukraine to fight Russia and it was good to see it swiftly shot down by the Government as illegal and anyone who does make the trip faces prosecution when, or if, they come back much like those who went to fight with Kurdish militia forces against ISIS in Syria.
Hundreds of young Brits have journeyed down to the Ukrainian embassy including a dog care businessman who told reporters: 'We're young, strong, fit men and we can help, so why not?'
Christ, where to start with why not?
One, you have no military experience and will most likely blow your own stupid foot off first time you fire the gun, secondly, you can't speak the language and can't even read the road signs so how are you going to understand what the hell is going on, thirdly, you are going up against one of the best equipped, most powerful armies on the Planet so there is a very high probability that your trip will be one way and you will die.
War isn't a game, it's appalling and dirty and hideous, it isn't Call of Duty and anyone you do manage to shoot will be dead and that will be on your conscience for the rest of your life, that you actually killed a fellow human being.
It may seem a valiant and noble idea while you are sitting in leafy and safe England but ask anybody who has been to a war zone, seen bodies ripped apart by bombs, bullet or shrapnel, seen dead kids and the distraught parents burying their children, it is horrendous, you cannot unsee those things and it changes you forever.
For the sake of your parents, siblings, friends or just for yourself, don't go, don't be so damned stupid!!
