Try reading more extensively and you’ll see that technology has made mass warfare obsolete.

I have studied warfare for...oh, going on forty years, now...since my career Marine father brought the very young me to visit his first battlefield on Okinawa. Oh, I even have a PhD in modern European history, with a specialty in WWII logistics. And make my living teaching history.

And you? Oh, yeah. You post anonymously to an internet forum.

Stick to sports on television. That’s your speed.

Sorry, but you sound incredibly petty and childlike, regardless of how you huff yourself up on the internet.

You should do more to explain to the world that large scale warfare is over and that man has moved beyond that, especially convince countries like China that war is over.

We would be in debt to you if you can bring world peace to man, and make future conflicts nothing but small operations with a few mercenaries and some push buttons.

Those are fine accomplishments, shared by many whose opinions vary. Thankfully, your hubris is less common. Most historians share a keener sense of their own limitations, knowing that their academic peers in past generations witnessed events take unforeseen turns.
