Structured interview forms were used as data collection tools. The form contains information about the personal, peaceful, and post-military life of the veterans. For the reliability of the data collection tool, the findings were presented without interpretation, and the opinions of the Ghazis were included in the classification of the data.

When the findings of the research are examined, the giants stated that war is a fact that should not be experienced for humanity, but it is inevitable when it is necessary.
