Leaders often reap the most significant benefits from war, as they gain increased power, resources, and influence both domestically and internationally. Wars can allow them to consolidate their authority, distract from domestic issues, and rally nationalistic sentiments, enhancing their political capital. Think of how some leaders have used wartime propaganda to solidify their control!

On the flip side, soldiers who serve can sometimes benefit from honorable recognition, job opportunities post-service, and educational incentives. However, many face the harsh realities of conflict, such as trauma or displacement, contrasting the perception that military service is always rewarding. It’s a mixed bag, but ultimately, the impact of war varies greatly among these groups!
