War is defined as a form of political violence however I rather hate to like the following quote by this Prussian military general in 1832

"War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will."

We vote in our leaders to refrain from such,yet allow them to use us as pawns in their world.I will be remembering and thanking all those who have, will and do give up their life's so that I can at least be free to make such.
