It is generally very difficult to achieve absolute truth in war. Instead of truth, each of the conflicting parties is satisfied with its own truth interests. It is understandable that each side wants to take credit for all the ideals of kindness, generosity, justice, and when the time comes to describe a war, then everyone wants to be victims and no one wants the role of aggressor and executioner. I think the truth is the “first casualty of war” in the context of war reporting. Usually the truth about what really happened during a war comes out when the war is over. Sometimes it takes years and years – We are still learning new things about World War II. We can go back to World War II, a hundred years ago, and find that war coverage has always been problematic, represented from the perspective of government or military structures with which journalists are always connected and to which journalists always feel some sort of of loyalty. So, obviously, the truth is the first casualty in any war reporting. I think that those who form opinions should do everything to arouse a sense of skepticism in readers and viewers, to make them realize that just because something is in the newspapers or on television doesn't mean it's true. The Army has an advantage over the press because it is an institution that lasts. Journalists come and go, most go. The Army has a system of transferring lessons learned about each war. Journalists start at the beginning every time. We have a right to expect journalists to seek the truth; by individuals, journalists and journalism in general. It is our right to demand it. However, all systems are made up of humans… middle of paper… democracy, but only death and subsequent destruction. The politician's interest is not human and correct, but only financial. The war is not real for them. For them, war is just another step closer to absolute power and authority. How can we expect a just democracy in which decisions about life and death result in people profiting from death and not life? Some say that war has always been with us and always will be. Considering what the history of humanity teaches us, it is difficult to condemn them for such thoughts. Exploring the history of different nations it seems that war is deeply rooted in human nature, but war is a direct result of human behavior, and a man is not born with that behavior, but teaches it through life. And here lies the hope that one day people will teach their children different things and more correct values.
