War is an
intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or paramilitary groups
such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militias. It is generally characterized by
extreme violence, aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or
irregular military forces.
“War is a
place where young people who don’t know each other and don’t hate each other
kill each other, by the decision of old people who know each other and hate
each other but don’t kill each other.”
-Erich
