War is about armies fighting armies ~ or it’s supposed to be. Sometimes it slips into the murder of civilians. Then it’s just murder. 52 million Europeans were murdered in the last century by firearms ~ that’s not really a firearms issue but you should ask yourself two things ~ why do leftists still not count those 52 million people when comparing American and European rates of homicide, and secondly why don’t they remember that it took the combined occupation of most of Europe by the American armed forces and the Red Army to bring that bout of murder to an end.
Hard to even contemplate how any human being can raise stupidity to the level of that statement. Here is a very short reading list.
Carl Von Clausewitz - On War
Sun Tsu - The Art Of War
Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince
Pretty much anyone with any military experience of any sort acknowledges the authority of the instruction found within these time tested works.
How about you read those books (instead of watching Hollywood bullsh!t) and show us where your loopy premise is ever presented.
“War is about armies fighting armies ~ or it’s supposed to be.”
No such thing. Never was. You as a nation don’t get to hide behind your army and claim innocence. Armies are of a nation and a nation is her people. Again, if you don’t like war don’t get all cocky and think your army will win and it will be the only thing attacked and suffer. After your army was defeated your men were killed, your women raped and your children enslaved, your land taken and your villages burned to the ground. That was war. It reminds you not to be so stupid as to wage war.
I don’t get why you believe aggressors should be given a pass and shown kindness upon defeat only for them to return again years later. Germany should have been disbanded after WWI such that WWII could not have happened, yet, we showed them mercy and let their little nation remain.
