When I was a kid I found a Picture History book of WWI. It was gruesome even in black and white. Bodies laying in trenches, or piled up like cord wood 100 foot from the enemies lines. Blisters from gas covering face and tongue. Starving children with vacant faces and empty stomaches begging for scraps.
I did not need hollywood films for an anti-war message.[/quote]
My dear, you are just another victim of anti-war propaganda. When I see the same pictures you saw, I don't feel "how bad war is" but "Look at what the enemy is doing to us".
There is a big diference in these two aproaches to a reality. And Hollywood is making a bunch of pussies out of us, while our enemies are raised in warrior societies chanting anti western slogans day and night.
War is not something good or bad, but I can't say the same of losing a war.
And technological superiority only go so far. They have found a way to shake our societies to the bottom, and that is targeting innocent civilians.
