Women , Men, Children : What’s the difference?

Why do they have to show dead children and women before we realize that the war is getting really nasty? Dead-men is as bitter as dead-children or dead-women. Dead-soldier is as bad as dead-civilian. Death is death; it’s losing a beloved, a sister, a brother, a child, a mom or a dad, or Akbar Agha my favorite colleague. Why does gender or age matter?

When I see us (human beings) at war, I wonder what we’ve descended to. No living creature kills for stupid reasons that we kill each other for. It would’ve been more convincing for me if we killed one antoher, at least, to be able to eat each other afterward.
