There are no innocents in Hell, just sinners, where war is mostly innocents.
War is way worse than Hell.

24. As I typed so many times
in this forum. War is an admission of failure. A failure to communicate, a failure to air out grievences, a failure to come to terms, a failure to think of the innocent and on and on. Even the Soldier having to fight the war is innocent. War is killing. Killing does not solve anything.

Even preparing for war is immoral and until we see those who profit from war as criminal humanity will suffer.
war is fought so the greedy can steal what others own. It business regardless of who is hurt or killed.

"War is way worse than Hell for those present where military actions take place."
For those of us who are far from conflict zones, life pretty much goes on as usual.
Had the US actually faced 9-11-type situations for years on end, we might have some inkling of what war actually is.
