What is we institutionalized tribal warfighting instincts and had ceremonial, low intensity conflicts within strictly defined parameters?

Like we could solve the South China Sea problem by selecting a 100sqkm patch of land and put 1,000 US soldiers against 1,000 PLA soldiers. There's no need to commit all our resources to a fucking total all out war. It's like the nation state version of settling a dispute with a fair fight, or trial by combat in muh GoT

Really makes me think

Because the moment anything of actual strategic relevance worth fighting over comes up any power worth their salt isn't just going to sit back and let a 1000v1000 battle decide the fate of it.

Also in the event of a loss, what's stopping either side just saying "Fuck it, we have millions of soldiers" and just devolving into Total War?

It's also demoralizing as fuck to the soldiery. It would fucking suck to be one of the 1000 men. It's not like countries would ONLY have an army of 1000 if this became reality.

In wartime you and everyone else out there are in the same boat. Assuming this happened like every 5 or so years why the fuck would those 1000 men not resent the living shit out of the other thousands of soldiers who sit in a barracks all year while they have to put their life on the line.

tl;dr you're a fucking retard.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
