1. All of the participants in wars suffer at least some psychological damage, and of course many suffer actual physical harm or death. Even is so called “good” wars, this is true. For example US veterans of WW2 had much higher rates of alcoholism, divorce, drug abuse, crime, and suicide than non veterans.
2. Wars do a lot of damage to infrastructure, destroying roads, farms, factories, bridges, etc.
3. Every dime spent on war is a dime not spend on productive things, so they do damage to economies, social services, etc. (there’s propaganda that wars “help” economies, this is propaganda, IE lies.)
4. Wars do ecological damage on a vast scale. Deliberately such as agent orange in Vietnam or the Romans salting the Carthaginians fields. And this can persist for decades or forever. Some countries in Micronesia recently sued the USA and Japan for the damage still being caused by oil and toxins still leaking from over 50 major warships sunk in their waters during WW2.
5. Leftover ordinance and leftover mines continue to kill people years or decades after the war is over. farmers in Europe, particularly France, are still killed regularly by the “iron harvest,” old munitions left in the ground of WW1 battlefields.

Heck, people are still occasionally killed by US Civil War ordinance, though those are usually now collectors killed while hunting for or cleaning said ordinance.
6. Wars inspire people to commit crime during wars, either officially or unofficially. Huge numbers of rapes and murders are committed by soldiers, even if countries try to prevent them. This is the reason that the Nuremberg Commission declared that invading another country was the worst of all war crimes, because all other war crimes follow it.
You could write books about the harm caused by wars, 2000 words is a snap.
