You can’t say today’s “wars” are more brutal than WWI or WWII. It’s ridiculous. Please.
You are mistaking scale for ferocity. WW I and WW II were massive and horrible. Iraq and Afghanistan are close-in smaller and sometimes even more horrible. How many survivors of IEDs have you known?
No, sorry: war hasn't morphed into something different than before. It still requires tearing the life out of other people as brutally as possible.
This isn't a "career opportunity", it's cold, efficient killing and we don't need distractions.
In WW1 and 2, we were fighting a civlized enemy. The Germans werent charmers in either war, but they still at least tried to follow rules of war. Some Units, like the Waffen SS were animals but were sometimes given to act of mercy to a defeated foe. The Japs on the other hand were cruel and showed little or no mercy.
Now we are fighting Muslims.Well, we all know their views on women. Any captured women should expect to be gang raped for days before having thier heads chopped off while still alive.
Women is front line combat units is like adding gas to a fire.
