do opposing combatants talk shi*t to each other during a war?

Yes they do, in ww2 the germans and japanese were taught rudimentary phrases they thought would enrage americans and allies to the point they would charge them, giving the axis and easy shot, the same thing is going on in iraq right now, the iraqi insurgents know a few phrases they use to taunt our troops with, but what they fail to realise is this gives an estimated location of their where abouts, and arty gets called in to solve the problem.

Tell them how their fighting is affecting you.

There has never been a war where some unwanted terrible things don't happen.  These things come from both sides in a war.  People get mad and get upset about it, yet it still happens in all wars.  We do have rules that Nations are supposed to follow during times of war with each other and for the most part they are followed.  Today in Iraq we are not fighting against any Army of Iraq, only against those who are fighting in the insurgency and these are Muslim's Killing Muslim's.  Kidnapping non-combatants and holding for ranson, the terroristic threats against people's rights, Shame on you too!

When you boil it down aren't all wars an inability of one or both sides to see the other's point of view?  All wars are fought over ideas.  I think that wars will always been fought, there will always be people who will not abide by what is right.

A) Whatever it is, let's say, "The War in Iraq," then you write about what other people said about the war. Be sure to include some active listening on your part, meaning you ask people questions to clarify their points. Then, you list how you either agreed or disagreed with what they said about the war. B) To effectively communicate, you should include questions you asked that checked the listener's understanding.

I would have to believe warring is the same in any part of the world. There is the regalia, body and facial paint, war cries and jeering, weapons, body odor, physical movements, ceremonial antics, and familiarity. These people have so much hate for one another and love for their brethren that they know exactly who is who. Some will even sing songs. Songs of war, and songs of power. My tribe have songs of healing and renewal. Maybe the Rwandans do also.

The question answers it well. Make your enemy your friend. Lowering yourself to the level of taking a life proves very little. \n\nIf, as in military conflict, you have a 'kill or be killed' decision, then kill.\n\nBefore it escalates to such petty options, the best choice is definitely to make allies of your enemies. The best result for all parties is trade and negotiation. War, hatred and fighting bring about little. The winner may lose, the loser, definitely loses.\n\nCheers, L

ABSOLUTELY. Often, people fight about petty issues, just to air their other issues. When someone's complaining about stuff all the time, they are obviously unhappy in general. If you get into an arguement, or verbal fight, ask the other person to stick to the subject. I've done that, and it usually makes the "fighter" back down, and re-think their gripes.

They may be a best friend that didn't hear you right IF it was something that happened every once in a while. But if it occures on a regular basis, then the answer would be no. A friend wouldn't put words into your mouth, or switch your words around like that. They would respect what you said, and not change it around on you. If they disagreed with you, they would simply tell you they disagreed. Mine have no problem letting me know when they don't agree with my opinion, so I would hope that others would as well.

There are only two ways to resolve any dispute among human beings.  Either the two sides work a compromise together that meets the needs of both.  Or force is used to make one side give in to the other.  War is never a real resolution of any issues, because the underlying factors that caused the misunderstandings in the first place are still there.  Sometimes we just have to wait for the next generation to take action to resolve issues that are nonsense.\n\nPeople have to be taught to hate.  People can be taught to love.

You can think of a war as a really big bar fight.  A couple people fight over something and it escalates to the parking lot.  The next morning they have a vague idea on what they fought about but they really remember how much they hate that other guy, so tensions last for a bit after that.  Eventually they have a beer together and have a good laugh.  They laugh how they can't believe how they fought over [insert one of the following: girl, oil, land, or religion]

yes, they can talk, though they sound sort of weird. :-(

Not a lot!\n\nAll as bad as each other, war-mongering & short-sighted

Yes, but it's freedom of speech: we're all entitled to express our opinion but, yes, some of the loudest do seem to be those who are quick to place others in harm's way for their beliefs.\nI'm not referring only to women, by the way.\nPersonally, I plan to express my own opinion on the war on Nov. 7, 2006.  Please join me.

it's been said that "warfare is an extension of diplomacy".\n\npeople fight because it is in their nature.  we are socialized animals and when that socialization breaks down the result is physical combat.\n\nWarfare is the combined effort of a group or nation to overwhelm another for the furthering of their own goals and aims.

Probably not on here. Everyone is free to say whatever they want.\n\nIf most of the people from this section were all in a room together, most would get along I think.

hmm of course. in a war such as vietnam or korea the people fighting (mostly) were fighting for their beliefs. if you wont fight for them what will you fight for? each person believed that they were right and that their respective countrys would be a better place if they won the war.\nthe higher ups probably just wanted more power. inciting the pawns to fight.\nshould another country meddle in others affairs? no. should you interfior in the running of your neighbours house? lol again no. look at iraq. americans thought they were helping them, now its more dangous then ever.
