Ever Been to War? OR Never Been to War ~ Which Would You Rather Research?

Everybody always wishes, hopes, and prays for World Peace. But so many countries choose war. I chose this phrase “Never Been to War” and searched Twitter. In the first batch of results, I found a really good one mentioning John F. Kennedy. A lot of the tweets were people yelling at some RAPPER. I ignored those. Hey! I’m looking for positive or poignant social shares about never going to war. Not tweets of people going to war with somebody who said they've never been to war! (O.o) I’ve asked these questions before in various conversations, but I’ll ask them again.  (And again and again and again ...)

Ever been to war? OR Never been to war. 
Which sounds better to you?

Prepare your mind. These tweets are serious, thought-provoking, prayer-provoking.

John F. Kennedy won an award for bravery in WWII, he also echoed a sentiment many of us feel when he said those who have never been to war are anxious to enter wars, while those who have fought will try to avoid it, if possible. Nagasaki from the ground. pic.twitter.com/IlIEJIWpwx

Lay No New Poppies

I have never been to war,
That's a cross my parents bore
And their parents just before.
Lay no new poppies at my door.

Uniting Europe - was that not for
Something greater than a trading floor?
Democracy to combine or split more?
Lay no new poppies at my door. pic.twitter.com/beYeEdSsy7

I'm not a soldier, I've never been to war; but some days I can totally relate to this feeling... Art by Danny Quirk. pic.twitter.com/cUiLG5xfJc

Vietnam veteran turns nightmares into a memoir. “When he returned home, he said he wasn’t welcomed back. He couldn’t wear his uniform, and life had to carry on, as if he had never been to war and seen the horrors that he had.” https://t.co/GFrZQI72Bt pic.twitter.com/5r4RLng87p

• "When it comes to wars and rumors of wars, I just pray about it. ..."

• “War is ugly and avoidable.”

• "The one word that can end all wars is LOVE. But it can’t just be a word. It must be an ACT."
