Books.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some books contain such horrific images that I would be very
\nreluctant to show them to anyone who has no need to view them.<\/p>\n

Such books include: –<\/p>\n

Ernst Friedrich.
\nKrieg Dem Kriege
\n( War against war ).<\/p>\n

&<\/p>\n

Lord Russel of Liverpool.
\nThe Knights of Bushido: A Short History of Japanese War Crimes.<\/p>\n

Both of these works contain very important information about the
\nhorrors of war, but there they also have some very disturbing
\nphotographic images.<\/p>\n

The same also applies to those works which describe the effects of
\nAtomic Bombs dropped at Hiroshima & Nagasaki.<\/p>\n

What applies to books about war also applies to those works
\nwhich show the medical effects of radioactive leaks from Nukiller
\nPower stations.<\/p>\n

War is Not a Game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many media images of soldiers just show men in combat or
\non military parades.<\/p>\n

This also extends to the model soldiers which are on sale in toy
\nshops.\u00a0 Most of these models either glorify war, or show soldiers
\nengaged in acts of violence.<\/p>\n

This is why many pacifists are concerned with the sale of war toys.<\/p>\n

It is very rare to come across model soldiers as the casualties of war<\/a>, or in need of medical Help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Veterans for Peace. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Veterans for Peace UK <\/a>has recently been established with the following Aims<\/a>:-<\/p>\n

– To resist war through non-violent action.
\n– Support persecuted war-resisters.
\n– Counter militarism in society through education.
\n– Increase public awareness of the costs of war.
\n– End the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate
\nnuclear weapons.
\n&
\n– Abolish war as an instrument of national policy<\/p>\n

As ex soldiers they have experienced the truth about war.<\/p>\n

They deserve to be heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
