Or is it just because we are living in the time of >drone drop videos>bigger Bombs with each passing year
>>489100503PsFuck kikesFuck queersFuck spicsFuck kikesFuck niggersFuck janniesFuck glowniggers except for the ok ones who helped me quit smoking cigarettes
>>489100503The scale went down significantly and with rise of precision ammunition the civil casualties went down as well. But now every death is streamed, recorded and distributed around the world
>>489100503Far less civilian casualties than in the past means it's less "brutal"It just seems worse because more of it is filmed
>>489100613And fuck jeets. There's brutal primitive combat taking place now in niggerland somewhere i am sure of it. Rapes of villages, young and old, cannibalism, all that oogabooga shit. Right? Right now right?But I've been wanting to ask you, is there much else as cruel that has been documented in warfare as the usage of drones in this war Especially on unarmed, injured/maimed and sometimes Surrendering combatants? Or am I being soft about this because sometimes I'll be going on with my normal day and I'll wonder about odd things like whats the time between a group of white men getting blown apart like I've seen on here and me having that very moment of present awareness?
>>489100852But are most of them not civilians drug off the street in lots of cases?I'd imagine lots if not most of the elite are long since liquidated, yes?
>>489100802>>489100852So civilian casualties set the scale of brutality?Noted. That for some reason wasn't something that crossed my mind when I think about this war because I feel like lots who are gone or going might as well have been civilians? Maybe that's just the advantage of having the hawk eye the gawk at and not the cold mud to have to endure.
>>489100852/threadListen to accounts from the survivors of Stalingrad, that was next level brutality, blood drenched snow everywhere, trenches full of frozen men, and men crushed by tanks all around. Or the accounts from the battle of Waterloo, men getting struck by cannonballs and all that's left is a pair of legs. Cannae has accounts that seem like depictions of hell itself with disemboweled Roman soldiers corpses dead on the battlefield whose last effort was to find a wounded Carthaginian to strangle to death while the legions were wiped out to a man.
>>489100909it just looks unfair. that's all. cruel idk. war has always been the most brutal scenery on the planet
>>489101249based Romans
>>489100503its just more visible now thanks to drone footage, but theres always fucked up shit going on in wars.
>>489100503I don't know, the pretty liberal use of chems during WWI was pretty bad. I know it was effective for the time but subjecting a bunch of people who were conscripted to them given the effects was rough.
>>489100503cruelty is by far the most effective tactic in war. The weapons change but the plan is always the same.In a round-about way the more cruel you are the faster a war is brought to a close by the psychological cost alone, it could even be a kind of mercy as opposed to a prolonged conflict.
>>489100503I mean is this more brutal than being gassed or blown to bits by a gigantic artillery shell?I guess it’s more personal, but at least you can be part of a meme compilation
>>489100852>Far less civilian casualties than in the past means it's less "brutal"the line between 'civilian' and 'conscript' is awfully fuzzy.
>>489101158The able man are doing the killing
I think WW1 was the peak.
modern sensibilities have made war endlesss. as one should expect, limiting casualties in the short term only leads to the maximization of suffering. leaving the economy intact does nothing but continue the war.war is a joke, maybe even a racket. nobody takes it seriously anymore - other than ukraine/russia. soldiers are spending all day handing out fucking water to refugees, managing pointless tribal relationships, and handling petty disputes between microgroups of sheep herding morons. who cares what they think? trying to get the "support of the people" as an invader is a fool's errand. let them starve. bring back strategic bombing. destroy the roads, destroy the factories, burn the crops, salt the fields. why capture a city when you have artillery? idiots who stay were goners already at best, tools of the enemy more like. valid targets. every tonne of napalm or hundred gallons of agent orange deployed is a war shortened by a week and a hundred lives saved.furthermore, nixon was based and did nothing wrong, his every act was objectively good for the US and the world
>>489100852back in the day the losing side would have all their civilians rounded up and publicly executed except for a a few lolis that could serve as sex slavesand when people fought with swords and clubs, the clash of the armies had to be absolutely brutal hacking off limbs and cutting throats of those lying wounded on the ground
>>489100503You should look at history and learn what happens when a army is defeated. PS. They normally kill all of them, sell them to slavery, rape them, kill them so more, double stab all the bodies in the ground etc. Prisoner of war rights are a relatively new thing. Most of the time they would have just killed you off.
