What do you think of this quote on modern war (no tl;dr):

War is no longer great. It has no great men, great leaders, or great divisions. It has great technology and great political sensitivity, but it is no longer great.

Long gone are the great soldiers of old. Men that inspired courage and fortitude in the face of battle as well as inspiring brashness in the face of obstinate superiors have been replaced with risk averse political lap dogs. Long gone are the great weapons of old. Weapons that a young man would become best friends with as he was heading off to fight the opposing young man with his own weapon are now as inspiring as concrete slabs. Great ships of old are sunk, no longer are sea battles conducted with the roar of cannon and the wits of captains and admirals but rather they are no longer conducted at all. Even the legendary cavalry, which was once on horseback but turned to tanks, no longer advances on other armored groups but rather demolishes the buildings of ragtag irregulars ill equipped to fight back.

All modern war is the political surgical removal of opposing forces domestic to a foreign country. Modern war is not great. Modern war is costly in lives, money, and time with little results to show for said cost. Modern war, is simply modern.
