War.

Just now I watched again the famous trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, I think this is the 3rd or 4th times I watch the 3rd part of the trilogy.... Still so nice. I noticed that most war movies, especially ancient war movies, will use a very huge amount of armies to win the battle, and every wars will sacrifice thousands of lives.

Horses
As I notice, horses already been part of human society since very very ancient time. They let us ride on their back, go where the riders want, even to war, but I wonder whether the horses know where their riders lead them? Do they know that war is a field of death? To train a horse to has such high discipline is not easy.

Soldiers
I feel very pity for the front line army, they seems like put there to die. Enemy's arrows will fire at the front line soldiers first, and they will just die like that, let the soldiers behind them to have the chance to kill the enemies while they 'reload'. To grow up an infant into an adult, then put them in war for just a few minutes...

King
I feel annoying when watch certain ancient war movies, because the wars in the movies were so easily to trigger to fulfill a king's desire, for example, women, or so-called-honor(Like Denethor, steward of Gondor). Just to satisfy a king's desire, thousands of lives had sacrificed, for almost nothing. What a self-centered lousy king!

Conclusion
War is like a childish game. Just to prove that which side is stronger, millions of lives already been sacrificed, it's just like using 1000000USD to buy a bottle of mineral water, not worth at all.
