Soldiers
It is not easy to be a soldier. A soldier must kill people who are on the opposite side, as called enemies, that who he/she has never known or met, which creates stresses for him/her. His/her responsibilities and duties are to defend his/her country in any possible ways. A soldierÐŽ¦s stress comes from killing others, and/or being killed by others. Soldiers canÐŽ¦t always know where the bombs or bullets comes from or going to where. Thus soldiers could fall dead at any moment. In order to kill the enemies at ease, a soldier must know his/her enemy very well. A war usually goes on for a long time, and because of that, soldiers are mostly in a tensed and busy situation.

I believe that most people in the world hate wars, especially soldiers themselves because it causes heavy casualties, and disturbs our livings.
