Victims Being Victims

    In every conflict there is always a victim, in war there are always victims but who are these victims exactly? After reading Cristina Serrano's "Who's the Real Victim?",  I myself started questioning who were the victims of war. The obvious victims like the physically and emotionaly cripled, the people with loved one's killed or houses destroyed or lifes taken way or many other things caused by destruction were checked on my victim list however the more I resoned every thing on earth was on my list. In a war with enough magnitude the effects of war come to affect everyone in differnt ways turning any one involved into a victim just that they are not all victims of the same things. Either from suffering or from dehumanization no matter wht you are in a war, if you are involved in it somehow you are a victim. The leader a victim of lack of diplomacy and responsability, the soldier is a victim of that leader and the enemy leader and the civilians are victims of the soldiers and leaders. War has enough victimisation to go around and its all a cycle that hurts any way you look at it, it depends on how far you want to go with the logic, the environment a victim of the country's industrialization and the whole world for the polution caused.

    If you look at war this way it seems even more wrong so in a way the real victims are the things inside us that tell us what will be beneficial and what would not be. Things as pure and taken for granted like logic and common sense and things as kind like mercy and humanity get victimised by rage, greed and dehumanization.
