War will never be a purely ground and naval affair ever again

War sucks nowadays. All these random airstrikes and unknown assailants. How the fuck are we going to teach this in school in 40 years?

Why is that bad?

>>2628076
Because war now lacks a sophistication and honour that previously existed.

Now it is literally HELL on earth.

Is this ironic.
There was never any honor in large scale war. Maybe ceremonial conflicts, but real conflicts have always been awful affairs. I mean I think I would rather die in an instant explosion rather than gangrene.

I bet the first time horse and chariots were used in battle the generals of the infantry only army complained about it too. "War used to be so pure and honorable, you used to have to stand on your own feet whilst bashing in a villagers head and.bathing in the blood of your enemies children"

Being shot in line during the Napoleonic wars is in no way comparable to having missiles going off around you and nukes in modern day war, cuck!

Yes having a half inch ball of lead tear your arm off of make a fist size hole in your chest and you get to stick your fingers in it as you choke on your blood is better than a missle explosion knocking you unconscious so you don't even feel the vaporization and dismemberment.

Three if you include Korea.And people fought all three

>>2628116
So it is ironic.

Again its much scarier to not get killed by a missle than it is to get killed by one. I think instantly blowing up is pretty easy way to go. That beingredients said the fear of missiles must be intense. Getting shot any place other than the head would be much worse than getting blown up.

Also nukes aren't used in modern warfare.

There was never honor in ceremonial conflicts.

If it's real war there is no honor because it's killing the innocent for necessity. If it's ceremonial war there is no honor because it's premeditated murder for entertainment.

If I had a time machine I would take one trip into the past and then destroy the machine.
