Current Events > I wish war would have never evolved

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fuck this IED, detainee ops, air strike bs


Two armies get together, square up, and just beat the shit out of each other

Whoever we wins, that's it. With respect to the enemies that survived

Pain in the ass when it's hot and you have full ta 50 and weapons these days

Bash a dudes skull in and drink beer from his skull

We'd be fucked because Western men are a bunch of pussies these days.
---

I wish we still used WWII style military weapons.
---

What did war evolve from?
---

I wish we still used swords and sheilds. Even Arrows are a bit iffy.

what's wrong with projectile weapons
---

People used projectile weapons before swords even existed. Projectile weapons predate metal forging.
---

i wish people still used magic to fight. ah the grand ol days

swords and bows were cooler than guns and bombs but that's never coming back

tfw you will never be part of the mongol horde raiding and pillaging across eurasia

Member how wars could last over 100 years and your armies had to walk over half of Europe?

You have a completely misguided view of war. Ancient wars were incredibly bloody conflicts that often involved the slaughter of women and children. Men could lie in a field bleeding out for hours on end, holding their guts in. Bullets are actually way faster at killing than ancient weaponry. Not only that but if we are talking pre-Geneva convention than we are talking biological warfare from at least the time of the Greeks.

That was never the case. After a battle, enemies were routinely tortured and executed. There was entire encyclopedias worth of torture devices in the middle ages. Executions were varied and brutal. Hell, cruxifiction was both (and predates IEDs but a fuck-load of time). Not only that but wars rarely were single battles fought to settle conflicts. Ever hear of The 100 Years War? The War of the Roses? The Punic Wars? The Servile Wars? The Great Migration? The Viking Age? Those were some brutal ass times.

Bash a dudes skull in and drink beer from his skull

More like bash a dude's skull in, steal his cattle, burn down his home, rape his wife and daughters, sell his family into slavery, declare your god to be bigger than his, and then drink a beer.

Even if we flashforward to the gunpowder age, or the Napoleonic age, or WWI and II, things were no better. Sure, people lined up, but death was crazy brutal. The biggest killer was artillery, but you had an equal chance of just getting maimed. If you were captured by the enemy, the best you could hope for was execution, especially if it was a religious or revolutionary conflict. WWI was literally the industrialization of warfare, too. Hell, bullets would most likely leave you wounded and infected and the best you could hope for was to bleed out before the crippling pain of the stump where your leg once was made you puke up your guts.

What you described is literally a romantic reinvention of war. It is sanitized, mass-produced, and distributed by misguided souls who want to imagine a better time for mass slaughter. It's simply not true. At least now we have relative peace in most countries and brutal, ideological warfare is limited to a few, very unfortunate countries.

Youre the one who started this asinine logic of a topic. Don't tell him to chill, look at that last message long and hard. Because he's right and I want to drink from your skull after defeating you in combat

You whine about a hot day and full ta 50, and you want to return to when you had to carry everything for years when you walk around in Europe?

You've never been in a real battle.

That's not...really true. Power is what drives us. Dominance.

War is an outcome of Great and Terrible men using their power to gain more.

In other words, wanting your neighbor's land and spoil and riches and women is what drives us. Power over that stuff.

War is simply the means to the end
