War I think war is terrible, but I'm glad war stopped. If I was in the war I would try my best to fight for my country. They took young boys and girls at ages eighteen and nineteen. There were two wars, World War I and World War 2. A lot of families got split up. In war a lot of people died. Poppies grew around them. They got buried in Flanders Field.
