John's father is off fighting and his mother works in a munition's factory. All around him - his teachers and community members are telling him he is at war. But John doesn't feel like he is at war - he's just a kid. After seeing a conscientious objector with photos of German children and visiting the munitions factory John comes to realize even more that he is not at war and does not like it. He also decides that after the war he will go to Germany someday and be one that spreads peace.
A short tale but powerful.
