Veterans for Peace

Many people think that soldiers are trained to fight. However, this is a very wrong assessment because the primary duty of soldiers is not to fight but to ensure peace.

Of course, keeping the peace can sometimes require fighting. But this is a situation that no soldier prefers, or rather should not prefer. All soldiers and security forces' primary purpose is to protect individuals, societies, and countries. From a broader perspective, soldiers must maintain world peace and order.

There will inevitably be some conflicts wherever people live. However, there are numerous alternative methods before the war to resolve these conflicts.

War is wrong if it is not for self-defence.

War is wrong if it is not fought to protect people's lives.

War is wrong if it causes the death of innocent people.

War is wrong if it is being waged to invade another country's territory.

There are hardly any options where war would be reasonable. Especially in the 21st century, it is a great mistake and misfortune for countries to see war as a solution.

World veterans must always stand by the peace and strive to close the paths to war.

World veterans must always stand by the peace and strive to close the paths to war. Furthermore, veterans should not hesitate to undertake a social duty and be the voice of peace, if necessary.

Veterans for peace are the right people because they know best what it means to be ready to sacrifice their lives for peace.

Veterans must work together and continue to defend peace to stop the atrocities exhibited today in Ukraine and other countries of the world.

Peace is like the air we breathe. Democracy, human rights, equality, and freedom are indispensable components of life.

Veterans are essential to peace.

Veterans are essential to democracy and human rights.

Veterans are important to equality and wealth.

If you are a veteran, the world and world peace need you more than ever.
