The effects of war are widespread. Civilians and those caught in the crossfire experience trauma and suffering. Soldiers suffer from combat stress, PTSD, and the constant threat of death. When one side loses, both sides face severe physical, psychological, and systemic consequences that can affect generations. But the war you are going to hear about today resulted in widespread public mockery.

So, get ready, my spooky friends. Today, you will hear about a war against Emus, and the birds won.
