‘War is what happens when words fail’ says Margaret Atwood. After war what remains is only unimaginable damage. The innocent lives, livestock and property of citizens will be lost filling every spot with bloodshed and misery. It takes decades to normalise the psychological terrors of the victims of war. The consequences, in one form or the other, will bring bitterness even to the rest of the world. So, it is the responsibility of a nation’s leader to protect his/her own people from the bitter wars. Impactful leadership, commitment to provide peace and comfort to the citizens, diplomatic strength and awareness of happenings around the world and neighbourhood are essential to any nation’s leader. Nowadays, one who wins the battlefield is not the winner, in fact he is the first loser. One who endeavours to prevent war is a real hero. The nations of the modern world are in need of real heroes. So, the words ‘bravery’, ‘tactics’, and ‘generalship’ should be used for those who sacrifice anything for protecting his nation, other nations and mother earth from devastating results of war.
