Default War in my country - the news of deaths every hour

We faced 10 year insurgency and now we have peace in my country. Have you ever faced war in your country? How do you feel when you hear the news of death in every hour?

Thankfully, we do not have to worry about a war within our nation, at least we haven't had to in a very long time. I can not imagine having to live with war on a day to day basis.

I have never lived with war in my country and I hope it never comes to that. I did live somewhere for a short period of time where there was the threat of war and random acts of violence on a daily basis.

Even though it can't compare to what you were dealing with, I know that feeling of being scared of the uncertain all the time.

Default War in your country

Some part of my country is peaceful especially on the cities and suburban areas. But in the provinces and boondocks, I know there is war going on, although it can't be heard in cities. The war is between our government and the rebels. That is what sad about it. The war is between brothers, war against fellow countrymen, with different idealisms. I hope soon enough true peace would prevail.

War in my country has not occurred in my lifetime. I hope that it will not ever. I do however feel bad about all of the deaths that I hear about in Iraq, a war which my country started and is involved in.

There have been no wars, fought with guns and bombs during my lifetime, on US soil. There are other battles that have occurred, though, that involved police dogs and water cannons.

There are many types of war and many ways to fight them.

Default India and it's wars

Since Independence in 1947, peace loving India has had to face 5 wars. The Kargil war of 1999 was the latest. Though, not Israel, we face terror threats everyday from terrorist organizations from Pakistan and Bangladesh. All the major cities of India have been targeted. The Kargil war of 1999 was very worrisome as I have immediate relatives in the Army who were in the face of danger on the frontlines.

I'm glad and proud to say that I live in a small and very peaceful country. Sure it might not be a very old country, but we have never had any war. I think it's the most peaceful country in the world. You barely see any crime around here, well sure there might be some crime, but a very small percentage.

I live in a small country (The Netherlands) and we had a real war in 1940 - 1945 but that's over and I am glad. I hope I never have to face a real war and I can imagine you living 10 years in war. You hear about deaths every hour!! That's insane. I am glad that the war is over there. Btw Bika where do you live exactly?

I live in india and we have had many times with our neighbouring countries and it feels really sad not because people from my country are dead but because its harming humanity.. humans are killing humans.
