It’s so funny every time reality butts up against these guys’ fantasies of a glorious war, they get upset. They can’t handle what Hemingway said all the way back in 1935:

“…In modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.”

The worst thing to happen to modern warfare was modern warfare. Nothing has fundamentally changed in a hundred years. War is not the noble meeting of champions in the arena, it is murder.

Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something.
