Of course war does not end when the soldiers return home. History established that fact for thousands of years. But politicians ignore. 

Gen. Sherman of American Civil War said "War is hell". He was commanding a force whose job was to more than win the battles. It was to completely and utterly destroy everything in the South - people, home, crops, cities, town, villages, barn and land. He wanted to leave behind only one memory - War is Hell. 

Let this be a lesson for the politicians, who have the power to get into war but who never do the fighting themselves. Never, ever send our troops overseas to fight ideology, fight religion, fight other people wars, fight for their glory or politics, fight for empire. Because those who fight will return home damaged, who died do not want to know they died for nothing. 

Our military is strictly for homeland defense, for the defense of Canada vital material interest. Only then will our troops can return home without such psychological damage.
