Too little, too late. It's not easy breaking the trench deadlock at the best of times, and while the American troops might have been sub-par for European standards and didn't fight much in the offensive, the fact that they were coming, in the millions, meant that France only had to hold on long enough for the body count to render German gains irrelevant.
>>
The breakthrough was not enough, the offensive found itself exposed which only increased the rate of attrition against an enemy which already had greater resources and was now being reinforced by America.

eastern front is depressing. the western front has sort of a "we sure fugged 'em up, bois!" USA adventure feel to it that makes it more fun. blame medal of honor: frontline.
pacific theater was more interesting than both t b h because anime

Because it was one nation superior in technology against a nation that just threw soldiers at their enemy. Also it serves as an example of why you shouldn't invade Russia in the winter.

To some, this man is a hero and to others he is the butcher of la cabaña, it's difficult to find concrete facts about him
What I would like to know is, did he really want to ban all music he felt was imperialist? Or is that just right/American propaganda?

What is this cultural fascination with war and violence in the modern media, while these being a strong tabu in actual west society? If you ask someone about experiencing violence he certainly would avoid it and judge it as bad. If you actually put someone in a situation where violence is present or required, I mean some real blood or death, people tend to become shocked, wordless, full of panic.
Meanwhile more 'human' and harmless concepts like sexuality and nudity are much less accepted in common media and handled as tabu much more. Concepts like love, compassion and goodness are normally seeing as 'gay' and have much less place in the public media.
Interesting is that most consumers of 'violence products' are people who actually never went to war, harmed or even killed something - people like ''I eat flesh but would never kill a chicken''.
Death is a ever worser theme. People avoid thinking about it like hell, as it were the worst moment in life, but they keep watching deaths in movies and TV everyday. If some shitskinns die by famine, it's no problem at all, but if someone is shooted in my quartier, oh my god, it's the end of the world!
Don't understand me wrong, I love meat, I love to do some heavy sparring and I respect aggressiveness and violence as being essential in human nature. I never killed something, but I would do it if necessary, whatever if I like it or not. But for fucks sake, most violence in media is just pointless, disgusting and has a heavy load of negativity, how can people enjoy such shit?
Is this fascination a proof of great hypocrisy in today's human behavior?
Pic related. If I would post a comic with boobs, I would be banned. But some blood is ok.

Society is tame. Tame is boring. We escape it through cheap thrill via simulated violence. This is nothing new.

Not that much.
Tabooisation of actual violence is somthing new here that started in the 60s while the macabre was always liked by the same generations that fought in the worldwars.

Have chemical weapons been used in any war to considerable success? Seems like it's just as easy to gass your own troops, particularly if the wind shifts direction. Did nations stop using them out of humanity, or was it because they just weren't very good weapons?

WW1, WW2 (on the Jews), Vietnam, and Arab Srping/Syrian Civil War.
>Seems like it's just as easy to gass your own troops, particularly if the wind shifts direction.
>provide your men with gas mask
>????
>profit (until the their mask are fucked)
>Did nations stop using them out of humanity, or was it because they just weren't very good weapons?
Too much side effects, medical cost, it gets everywhere and isn't too effect compared to other means of warfare.
>>
>>2012123
>WW1
Was it ever in a capacity beyond "hey let's try out this new technology"? My understanding is that it got dropped pretty quickly.
>WW2 (on the Jews)
Not really used as a weapon of war
>Vietnam
I'll give you that
>Arab Srping/Syrian Civil War
Hadn't heard about this. Which sides? What are their tactics?
>>
>>2012123
Japs used gas weapons on the Chinese in WWII.
Fun part: they were noobs at it and ended up gassing huge swathes of their own boys at times. And so stopped.

If life on earth is a big complex organism, is not humanity simply a virus? a parasite whose only true purpose is to lodge itself on and feed off its host while producing more parasites? So is not our true "purpose" to simply reproduce and die? Is the ascension that religion talks about simply dying then? But how come we, who are so insignificant on the universal scale, can understand our surroundings and are not simply made up of a few simple building blocks, but rather are self aware. Is that not redundant if our only purpose is produce offspring and feed off other lifeforms?
