Better they throw rocks at each other than use nuclear weapons.

“War sure has regressed quite a bit”

One of my father’s WWII stories was about being sent behind German lines on patrol to ascertain the location of German positions. His patrol was walking along the edge of a treed area when a German patrol walked out of the trees just ahead.

Both patrols were doing the same thing, scouting each other’s positions. The two patrols looked at each other, then turned away and left. They had both accomplished their missions with no shots fired.
