No one wins in War.

For as long as recorded history, we have been locked in almost never ending conflict.

Empires, once thought invincible by so many, and that seemed to rule with absolute dominance, have fallen overnight.

Virtuous Heroes have risen, leading the charge against the enemy with charisma and integrity, ultimately defeating them.

Civilization has been changed again and again by the technological advancements of our weaponry.

But no one wins in War.

Soldiers bound by both honor and the desire to protect have marched into the battlefield, never to be seen again.

Families weep as they receive word that their loved one will never come back.

And mothers cry out in anguish as they find out that they will never see their baby, whom they have raised, taught, and loved unconditionally, again.

No one wins in War, because when when the smoke clears, there are only those who survive, and…

...And those who don't.
