WW1 air battles were by far the most honorable wartime thing

Lol all the cucks in the thread not understanding wars place in history.
>>2349339
What about when the French went into Spain?
>>2349339
very honorable
>>2349691
But that's wrong you meme spouting retard. They had to use those techniques to both maximise their firepower and defend from Calvary charges.

Napoleonic war conventions existed out of necessity, not out of some kind of reverence for honour.
>>2349339
Honour, what do you know of honour, you who has not walked the thin red path
>>2349339
also maybe the most aestethic wartime period
>>2349949
No Boers are most dishonourable
I never understood this. If you have a reason good enough to try and slaughter a foreign people and gain physical control of their nation, you better show no mercy and spare no successful tactic.
I refuse to believe that those tactics were the only viable option with the technology available.
Why don't our soldiers still dress like that. We were supposed to go forward not back.
>>2350279
What is camouflage
>>2349691
this really got me
>>2350304
Camouflage is a meme designed to excuse the lack of effort put into our uniforms
>>2350323
>Camouflage is a meme
Ok, wear a bright red Uniform like OPs pic and walk into a modern combat field. You'll be dead before you even get in the same city.
>>2350323
Fuck dude did you ever try hunting or hell even just playing airsoft/paintball with your friends in the woods?
>>2350335
Are you implying War is supposed to be entertaining? Must be fun being 15
>>2350340
I don't think that is what that anon was implying at all. I do think you're an idiot.
>>2350366
Anon did not appear to be implying much of anything
>>2350340
I wish I could assume this is trolling but people as dumb as you do exist.
I was talking about the practicality of camouflage, and tried to use a real world example that you would have experienced to illustrate the point for you.
Unfortunately you are fucking braindead.

>We should go back to heavy-cotton pastel jackets for no reason other than vanity
>>2350382
Show me where I said that, you drooling moron.
>>2350390
You aren't for Camouflage so you are obviously in favor of restoring the old way, desu
>>2349339
Yeah the peninsular war sure was honourable...
>>2350413
I'm the original guy who said we should go back. You guys started arguing amongst yourselves.
>>2350446
Then you're wrong. Camouflage has a practical purpose to make yourself harder to see and harder to determine the outline of. It is significantly harder to find and shoot you when blending in than when you're wearing bright colors you dunce.
If you want those colors, look at the ceremonial uniforms.
Theres no honor in war
Stop romanticizing shit
>>2350455
I was clearly memeing mate, I like the aesthetics of the uniform but in this age of urban warfare and no more great organised battles between two parties they have lost their use.
>>2350464
>There ir no honor in try to kill each other
You illiterate peasant
>>2349339
How is safely bombarding using artillery more honorable than melee combat like the Romans did.

Nice honor you have there
>>2349691
>seeing an unstoppable wave of bayonets walking towards you even after many volley shots
You dont think this shit would terrify the enemy?
Besides they needed some god tier discipline to stand there taking shots
