Because war is so horrible, there's no reason why people who don't fight or unwillingly participate in them shouldn't be able to know just how horrible it can be. Implicitly rose-tinting awful realities by keeping silent about their nature is rarely a good thing for future generations. If anything, the world needs more people who have been in wars to make explicitly clear just how many grotesque reasons there are for avoiding them if at all possible.
