Could we wage WW2 today with our media?
There’d be constant photos of the dead babies and children from this bombing. Or Dresden.
No. We couldn't.
Absolutely not, but not because of the media. They'll be very willing accomplices, but the last 80 years have completely destroyed any semblance of honor or patriotism in youth. I fear that if another World War churns to life in my lifetime, complete with a draft/conscription, we'll see American boys (and girls, trannies, whatever) surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield to save their own tails.
America today is no where near America circa 1930, and part of me doubts it ever could be again.
We damn sure couldn't with the Rules of Engagement we're forced to operate under today. Not to mention a limp-wristed President and a Congress of eunuchs.
