I am of the opinion that we (human race “we”) have tried to take the horror out of warfare. In the Roman times, if you went to war and lost, you lost everything. You were most likely killed and your wife and children were beaten, raped possibly maimed and sold off into slavery. Consequently, you went to war only when you had no other choice.

Now, there are all kinds of “little” wars. Civilized wars where one side gets hit hard and all of a sudden it’s opps, we didn’t mean that. Lets walk away friends. And a generation later it’s the same causes, the same conflicts, being fought by the same sides.

The devil dances to the tune of never ending war where the winners and losers are only temporary - wait a generation and we will get them for sure next time.

You raise an excellent point.

Additionally, these modern whiners are anxious to go to war with somebody Else's body and family left to grieve, when their preferred Ruling Elite crony capitalist (read: Fascist) has his hedge fund or currency speculation threatened.
