Antiwar
Anti war is being opposed to war in general or a specific war. At first glance of writing a blog titled anti war I didn't really know what to expect because it is not a topic discussed very often. I think this is because many people just assume war is part of life, and that we need war to protect our country. They don't always think of the consequences of war, and the tragedies that truly come with it. Looking at the Anti War website definitely gave me a different perspective on this topic, and reading the letter from a trauma doctor really opened my eyes. Especially when he mentioned the children being effected by war, and the horrifying military traumas he has delt with is truly heartbreaking.
Websites like antiwar and the american conservative are websites I have personally never heard of. They are both websites that support antiwar beliefs and provide news about it. I think this is something many people along with myself have never heard of before because it is not a very publicly opinionated belief. While I don't personally think war is a good thing, I think sometimes things are necessary to be done to protect out country and the people in it. I think being complete anti-war can be seen as disrespectful to many men and women who put there lives on the line to protect us. Despite opinions it is obvious that it is harder to find articles and websites dedicated to anti-war, and I think timing may play a big part on this. It is all situational and depends what is going on in our country at the time. If there is a situation or war actively happening then many anti-war groups and protests will be all over the news. However if there is not something actively happening then there is no need for antiwar groups to be all over the news.
