As I read the section in chapter 8 following the bombing, I was disturbed by the line that describes an American fighter plane attempting to shoot down American refugees. The reason why they attempted to kill them is because they were not dressed as American soldiers. This helped me realize how horrible wars are. The only things keeping fellow soldiers from killing one another are identical uniforms, their home country, and familiar places. Without these they would brutally kill each other. Even though war is inevitable today, maybe one day war won't exist and there will be peace in the world.
Your blog helped me to better understand more of the brutality of wars and how soldiers will kill or harm anyone they do not recognize as one of their own. I hope that one day wars will non-existent and we will all live in peace.
