War (or a battle in a war) can be as shocking to the human mind as a serious plane crash, car crash, earth quake, flood, terrorist attack (September 11, 2001), etc. Some folks "go crazy" after experiences such as those.
However...many thousands upon thousands upon thousands of men have experienced war; in just the Vietnam War alone. And very very few of them "went crazy." Discounting the men that "saw red" (went sort of crazy during the heat of battle) of course. That's normal, almost all men in the "heat of battle" get super angry and fight like...well, like "crazy men." That's good! For when the fighting's over with, they're our heros. But once the battle's over with, EVERYONE expects him to drop back to normal. And 99.9% percent of them do. But there's always one or two that or more that don't.
Studies have shown that men that have survived (read excelled in) disasters such as mentioned in the first paragraph, have also excelled in wars. By the same token, an individual that "can't handle a battle" (loses his mind) more than likely "couldn't handle one of the aforementioned disasters either." In related studies, men that couldn't handle peaceful times (always in trouble with the law) ended up being war heros. Men that made great law biding citizens, were often "not very good" soldiers. General George S. Patton one of America's greatest fighting Generals was so terrible in peace that he was miserable, and so mouthly in WWII that Generals Eisenhower and Bradley had to keep him away from the press and high ranking dignitaries. After slapping a GI for cowardice (US officers traditionally never lay a hand on a man, NCO's "used to" do that for them) the only reason Eisenhower/Bradley didn't relieve him of command (fire him) was because THEY NEEDED HIM TO KILL THE ENEMY. Great in war, lousy in peace! As Orwell may have said, "...the only reason you sleep safe at night is because rough men stand ready in the darkness to attack those that would do you harm..."

Why should you not go to war?
It would logically seem that there are more reasons not to go to war than to go to war. The loss of life, the destruction of nations, cities, homes and people should be good reasons. The money and energy used to destroy rather than to build should make it something we would never want, and yet there are always "war and rumors of war".
