Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
You can't be dense enough to think war is antiquated? The thirst for power will never end. War is a financial engine in modern America. Regardless, war has happened since Cain killed Able.
Really. War used to be entertaining and great movies were made about it. But now it just makes you think "Oh too bad, the world is about to end."
It just isn't exciting and fun anymore.
Thank you science and technology.
I suggest you go down to your nearest Army recruiter ASAP and volunteer to be sent to Afghanistan. That way you can entertain yourself watching your fellow soldiers get blown up, you can have fun watching your wounded platoon mates be airlifted out of the combat zone and then seeing their medevac helicopter shot down, and have loads of fun when both your legs get shot off.
What are you a sociopath?
If the mods have any common human decency, they'll close this thread.
OP, I suspect that maybe, just maybe, people would be more sympathetic to your argument had you not implied that other generations' wars were "fun." I'm pretty sure they were not, for those who had to fight them.
As for war being obsolete...how I wish that were so.
Lots of people have found war exciting, whether they admit it or not. I never found it exciting, I am female.
BUT THAT WAS NOT THE POINT.
We don't have real wars anymore. In a real war, your best weapons get used. We DO NOT USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
If we start using them now, against North Korea for example, it probably won't stop until the whole world is dead.
If you don't know this, you are in very deep denial.
